On January 6th, MEITU announced that it would hold a Board of Directors meeting on January 16th to consider the distribution of a special dividend of approximately 0.109 yuan per share from the share premium account. If the Board of Directors recommends the distribution of the special dividend and the relevant conditions are met, it is expected to be paid in cash around February or March. On December 4, 2024, MEITU announced that it had sold all of its Cryptos, with a total cash consideration of about 0.18 billion USD, resulting in a profit of approximately 79.63 million USD (equivalent to about 0.571 billion yuan). At that time, the news indicated that the Board of Directors planned to use about 80% of the profits from the sale to pay for the special dividend, expected to be implemented around June or July 2025. Regarding the news of a potential early dividend payment, some analysts believe that MEITU is accelerating the distribution of the special dividend, which on one hand reflects a focus on shareholder returns, and on the other hand indicates that the company currently has ample cash flow, with significant growth in its core Business of image and design products.
