On October 14, CHINA LIFE fell 3.28% in Regular Trading, trading at HK$24.7, with turnover of HK$224 million.
The move came as the company’s interim dividend distribution schedule approached and recent disclosure of BlackRock’s off-exchange H-share position reduction continued to pressure short-term sentiment.
CHINA LIFE disclosed that its interim A-share cash dividend will be CNY0.358 per share, with a record date of October 16 and ex-dividend and payment date of October 19, for a total payout of about CNY10.12 billion. Separately, BlackRock disclosed that on October 5 it reduced 20.43 million H shares in an off-exchange transaction tied to the release of security interests, lowering its long position ratio to 5.92% from 6.20%. While this was not an on-market secondary sale, the repeated swings in disclosed holdings have weakened positioning signals and added pressure around the dividend adjustment window.
