DIDA INC (02559) has announced that its board of directors has resolved to recommend the payment of a special cash dividend from the company's share premium account.

The special dividend of HK$1.1745 per share will be paid to shareholders whose names appear on the company's register of members on the record date of Monday, July 20, 2026.

This record date will be used to determine shareholders entitled to the special dividend, subject to the fulfillment or waiver of all applicable conditions and compliance with the Cayman Islands Companies Act.

All treasury shares and any repurchased shares pending cancellation will not be eligible to receive the special cash dividend.

Based on the company's consolidated financial statements, the board is satisfied that there are sufficient funds in the share premium account for the payment of the special dividend.

Assuming the DIDA offer becomes or is declared unconditional in all respects on or before the first closing date, the special cash dividend is expected to be paid on or around the final closing date.

The company will issue a separate announcement regarding the payment date for the special dividend at an appropriate time.
