Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd. (ICBC) has launched the currency election process for its 2025 final cash dividend of RMB 1.689 (pre-tax) per 10 H-shares, according to the dividend election form distributed to registered shareholders.

Registered H-shareholders will receive the dividend in Hong Kong dollars by default. Shareholders who prefer to receive the payout in Renminbi must complete and return the “Dividend Currency Election Form” to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited by 4:30 p.m. on Friday, 29 May 2026. No action is required for those accepting the default Hong Kong-dollar option.

The conversion rate for shareholders choosing Hong Kong dollars will be based on the average RMB/HKD reference rates published daily at 11:00 a.m. by the China Foreign Exchange Trade System over the five business days immediately preceding, but excluding, the form-dispatch date.

ICBC advises shareholders electing RMB to ensure they hold suitable bank accounts for RMB cheque settlement and notes that cross-border clearing could incur additional handling charges or delays. Failure to submit the election form by the stated deadline will result in automatic payment in Hong Kong dollars.

The currency-election arrangement follows ICBC’s announcements dated 27 March 2026 and 13 May 2026, which confirmed the dividend amount, detailed the optional RMB payout mechanism, and outlined the applicable exchange-rate calculation method.
