Zijin Mining Group Co., Ltd. announced that its Board of Directors, at the fourth meeting of the ninth term held on 21 Aug 2026 in Fujian, approved cutting the transfer price for the 2026 Employee Stock Ownership Scheme (ESOS) from RMB19.36 to RMB18.56 per A share.

The price revision follows completion of two cash dividend distributions: RMB0.38 per share for FY 2025 (record date 26 Jun 2026) and RMB0.42 per share for 1H 2026 (record date 21 Aug 2026), applied to 26.51 billion shares outstanding after deducting 77.47 million treasury shares. In line with the ESOS draft rules, any ex-dividend events before the transfer of underlying shares require a corresponding adjustment to the scheme’s transfer price.

Corporate governance steps included: • Employee representatives’ meeting on 7 May 2026 to gather staff feedback. • Board approval of the ESOS draft and ancillary policies on 8 May 2026. • Shareholder approval at the 2025 AGM on 5 Jun 2026. • Nomination and Remuneration Committee endorsement and final Board approval of the price adjustment on 21 Aug 2026.

Fujian Zenith Law Firm confirmed that the adjustment complies with the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s self-regulation guidelines and other applicable regulations. The company stated that the price change will not materially affect its financial position or operating results.

The Board advises investors and shareholders to exercise caution when trading the company’s securities.
