<h2>526 Million Yuan Spent on Shareholding Increase</h2>
According to PSBC's announcement, the controlling shareholder, China Post Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as &#34;China Post Group&#34;), officially completed its approximately one-year shareholding increase plan on April 6, 2026.
Specifically, from April 8, 2025, to April 7, 2026, China Post Group cumulatively increased its holdings of PSBC A shares by approximately 103 million shares through the centralized bidding system of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, with a total investment of approximately 526 million RMB.
Following the completion of the shareholding increase, China Post Group and its concerted parties' total shareholding rose to approximately 62.359 billion shares (including approximately 62.278 billion A shares and 80.70 million H shares).
<h2>2 Background Information Points Worth Noting</h2>
From a market perspective, there are two significant background factors to consider regarding the implementation of this shareholding increase plan.
First, during the period of the shareholding increase, PSBC implemented a private placement of new shares (fixed increase) to specific targets, which led to a significant expansion of its total share capital from approximately 99.161 billion shares to about 120.095 billion shares.
This expansion increased PSBC's overall market capitalization and also resulted in a certain dilution effect on the major shareholder's proportion of holdings.
Second, in this round of shareholding increase, China Post Group invested over 526 million yuan to acquire 103 million PSBC shares, resulting in an average cost per share exceeding 5.1 yuan. This average acquisition cost from the past year is higher than the latest closing price of 5.02 yuan (as of April 9, 2026).
<h2>Shareholding Increase Aimed at Boosting Investor Confidence</h2>
PSBC revealed in its latest announcement that the major shareholder, China Post Group, increased its holdings based on firm confidence in the development prospects of China's capital market and its high recognition and continued positive outlook on PSBC's long-term investment value. The objective is to enhance investor confidence and maintain PSBC's positive image in the capital market.
After the completion of the shareholding increase, China Post Group's shareholding ratio rose to approximately 51.92%, but the stock price performance was not significant.
For the major shareholder, China Post Group, which intends to boost external investor confidence and maintain market value, further efforts may be required.
