China Mobile Limited has proposed a final dividend of HK$2.52 per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2025. The payout remains subject to shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for 21 May 2026.
Book-closure periods for holders of Hong Kong–listed shares are as follows: 1) 18–21 May 2026 (both days inclusive) to determine eligibility to attend and vote at the AGM; share transfers must be lodged by 16:30 on 15 May 2026. 2) 9–11 June 2026 (both days inclusive) to establish dividend entitlement; transfers must be lodged by 16:30 on 8 June 2026.
Provided shareholder approval is obtained, the final dividend will be distributed on or about 24 June 2026 to shareholders registered on 11 June 2026.
In line with PRC tax regulations, the company will withhold and remit a 10% enterprise income tax on dividends paid to non-resident enterprise shareholders, including HKSCC Nominees and other corporate nominees or trustees. No individual income tax will be withheld from natural-person shareholders. Resident enterprises that qualify for tax exemption must submit documentation from their governing tax authority by 16:30 on 8 June 2026 to Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited.
Investors holding China Mobile shares through Shanghai-Hong Kong or Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect will receive dividends via HKSCC after the 10% withholding is applied.
