Each new independent director will receive an annual fee of RMB 150,000. • Committee re-assignments include Mr. Li Wenjing becoming Audit Committee chair, Mr. Zhu Zhengfu heading the Nomination Committee and Mr. Zhang Yanlong chairing the Remuneration and Assessment Committee.
Dividend decision Audited results show a net loss attributable to shareholders of RMB 8.78 billion for 2025. Although the parent company retained earnings stood at RMB 55.41 billion as of 31 December 2025, the Articles of Association require positive annual distributable profit before any cash dividend can be paid. Consequently, the AGM confirmed that no dividend or capital-reserve conversion will be made for 2025.
After the AGM, GAC Group’s Board now comprises two executive directors, five non-executive directors and four independent non-executive directors.
