To further enhance the level of returns for investors, it plans to distribute a cash dividend of 5 yuan (including tax) for every 10 shares to all shareholders, without capital reserve being converted into share capital or issuing bonus shares.
The announcement shows that according to the unaudited financial statements, in the third quarter of 2024, the net income attributable to the shareholders of the listed company was 71.1754 million yuan; for the first three quarters of 2024, the consolidated financial statements showed that the net income attributable to the shareholders was 0.174 billion yuan, and as of September 30, 2024, the company had a distributable profit of 0.124 billion yuan.
According to the distribution plan, as of September 30, 2024, Dameng Data's total share capital was 76 million shares, thus calculating a total proposed cash dividend of 38 million yuan (including tax), which represents 53.39% of the net income attributable to the shareholders of the listed company in the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the third quarter of 2024.
At the same time, Dameng Data disclosed the "2024 Semi-Annual Equity Distribution Implementation Announcement" on October 16, 2024, with a proposed cash dividend of 83.6 million yuan (including tax) for the half year.

Reporters from the Star Daily noticed that since the beginning of this year, there has been a notable increase in the frequency and magnitude of dividends from listed companies.

Previously, in December 2023, the China Securities Regulatory Commission issued "Regulatory Guideline No. 3 for Listed Companies - Cash Dividends for Listed Companies," clearly stating that it aims to encourage listed companies to increase the frequency and level of dividends.
In April 2024, the State Council issued "Several Opinions on Strengthening Regulation, Preventing Risks, and Promoting High-Quality Development of Capital Markets" (referred to as the "New National Nine Articles"), encouraging listed companies to actively pay dividends to enhance investor returns, and linking cash dividends with Shareholding reduction and risk warnings to urge listed companies to continuously and stably distribute cash dividends.
