Jianpu Sets Oct. 20 Ex-Dividend Date, Triggers FINRA Due-Bill Rule
Beijing -- Jianpu Technology Inc. (OTCQB: AIJTY) confirmed that FINRA has fixed October 20, 2026 as the ex-dividend date for the special cash dividend the Chinese fintech platform announced on September 2, 2026.
Dividend payout of $0.499 per ADS exceeds a quarter of share price, forcing regulatory intervention
The special cash dividend of US$0.02495 per ordinary share, equivalent to US$0.499 per American depositary share, surpasses 25% of Jianpu's ADS trading price. Under FINRA rules, this threshold requires the ex-dividend date to fall on the first business day after the payment date rather than before it, pushing the ex-dividend date to October 20, 2026, one day after the scheduled October 19, 2026 payout.
