Article 1: Factors Considered in Formulating Shareholder Dividend Return Plan

The Company focuses on long-term and sustainable development. Based on a comprehensive analysis of the actual operation and development of itself, shareholder requirements and wishes, social capital costs, external financing environment and other factors, a systematic arrangement is made for profit distribution. This establishes a continuous, stable, and scientific shareholder return mechanism to ensure the continuity and stability of the Company's profit distribution policy.

Article 2: Principles for Formulating Company Shareholder Dividend Return Plan

The formulation of the Company's shareholder dividend return plan should fully consider investor returns and reasonably balance and handle the relationship between using operating profits for its own development and returning profits to shareholders. It adheres to the basic principle with cash dividends as the main method. The shareholder dividend return plan for the next three years will strictly implement the profit distribution policy stipulated in the Company's articles of association.

Article 3: Specific Plan for Shareholder Dividend Returns over the Next Three Years (2024-2026)

1. The Company's profit distribution can take the form of cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock. The Board of Directors may propose interim cash distributions based on the Company's funding needs.

2. After making up for losses, and deducting the statutory reserve fund, and provided that the Company is profitable and cash flow meets the requirements for continuous operation and long-term development, the accumulated profits distributed in cash for the three consecutive years from 2024 to 2026 shall not be less than 35% of the average distributable profits achieved during those three years.

The Board of Directors shall differentiate the following situations and implement a differentiated cash dividend policy, after taking into account factors such as the Company's industry characteristics, development stage, operational model, profitability level and major capital expenditure:

(1) If the Company is in the mature stage of development and has no major capital expenditure, the proportion of cash dividends in the current profit distribution should be at least 80%.

(2) If the Company is in the mature stage of development and has major capital expenditure, the proportion of cash dividends in the current profit distribution should be at least 40%.

(3) If the Company is in the growth stage of development and has major capital expenditure, the proportion of cash dividends in the current profit distribution should be at least 20%.

In case it is difficult to distinguish the development stage of the Company but there is major capital expenditure, the provisions of the previous paragraph's third item shall apply.

3. The Company may, according to its development needs, reward investors by capitalizing capital reserve fund or distributing stock dividends.

4. At the end of each fiscal year, the Board of Directors shall propose a profit distribution plan, which shall be submitted to the shareholders' general meeting for approval. The formulation and implementation of the Company's profit distribution plan shall actively consider and accept the suggestions and supervision of all shareholders (including small and medium-sized investors), independent directors, and supervisors.

Article 4: Period and Decision-Making Mechanism for the Formulation of Future Shareholder Dividend Return Plans

1. The Company shall review the Plan for Shareholders' Return Over the Next Three Years at least once every three years. Based on the opinions of shareholders (especially small and medium-sized shareholders), independent directors, and supervisors, appropriate and necessary modifications shall be made to the dividend distribution policy being implemented by the Company to determine the shareholder dividend return plan for that period.

2. The Board of Directors shall, based on the Company's actual operations, fully consider the Company's profitability, cash flow, development stage, and current funding needs and consulting with shareholders (including small and medium-sized investors), independent directors, and supervisors, formulate annual or interim profit distribution plans, which shall be implemented after being approved by the shareholders' general meeting.

Article 5: This plan shall take effect from the date of approval by the Company's shareholders' general meeting.
