The company said the advance notice was required under HKEX listing rules, and cautioned that no board resolution has yet been adopted on the payout.
Yum China Holdings, Inc. said its board of directors will consider declaring and paying a quarterly dividend, with any decision expected to be adopted by board resolution on or around July 30, 2026, Beijing/Hong Kong Time. The notice was issued to comply with HKEX (Hong Kong stock exchange) listing rules that require advance disclosure when a dividend is expected to be considered. The company said any resolution will be promptly disclosed, but added there is no assurance the dividend will be declared because no board resolution had been adopted as of July 17, 2026.
