🧾 What This Document Is

This is a 6-K filing, which is a current report foreign companies like Tuniu (based in China) use to inform the U.S. stock market of major news. Think of it as a special bulletin for investors. This particular bulletin is a press release that provides key details about a cash dividend payment.

👉 Why it matters: It officially confirms the final amount shareholders will receive and clarifies a change in the company's share structure that directly impacted that amount.

🏢 What The Company Does

In simple terms, Tuniu is a major online travel agency in China, but focused specifically on leisure travel. They help people book their vacations.

They offer a wide range of options, from fully guided group tours to self-guided trip packages and other travel services. They operate through their website and app, backed by customer service teams and physical retail stores across China.

💵 The Dividend Details

The core news here is about money being paid directly to shareholders. Tuniu will pay a cash dividend of US$1.197 per American Depositary Share (ADS).

👉 Key Mechanics:

• Who gets paid: Investors who officially own the stock (the "ADSs") by the end of the day on May 4, 2026.
• Total Pot: This dividend comes from a total pot of approximately US$13 million that the company's board already approved back on March 20, 2026.
• Payment Date: The money is expected to be paid out around May 20, 2026.

🔄 The Important Share Ratio Change

This is the crucial piece that explains why the dividend per ADS is being announced now.

On April 22, 2026, Tuniu changed the ratio of its ADSs to its underlying Chinese shares. Previously, 1 ADS represented 3 ordinary shares. Now, 1 ADS represents 30 ordinary shares.

👉 Why this matters for your wallet: Think of it like a stock split, but in reverse for the ADS. They bundled more underlying shares into one ADS. Because the total dividend pool (US$13 million) is fixed, bundling more shares into each ADS means the dividend per ADS becomes smaller. That's why they had to calculate and announce the new, specific per-ADS amount ($1.197) only after this change took effect.

📦 Financial Position & Signal

This dividend payment is a signal about the company's financial health. Distributing ~$13 million to shareholders indicates they have confidence in their cash flow and overall financial stability. They believe they have enough cash to fund their operations and return a portion to owners.

However, the act of paying a dividend also means this cash is leaving the company's balance sheet. Investors will watch to ensure this doesn't limit their ability to invest in growth or handle unexpected challenges.

📅 Key Dates to Remember

• Record Date: May 4, 2026 (You must own the ADS by this date to get the dividend).
• Payment Date: On or about May 20, 2026.

🧠 The Analogy

Imagine a club that owns a large pizza. The club decides to give slices to its members (the dividend). Originally, a "membership token" (1 ADS) entitled you to one slice. But then the club changes the rules: now one token represents ten original shares instead of three. Since the total pizza size is fixed, the club now gives you a smaller, precisely calculated sliver (US$1.197 worth of pizza) for your token, reflecting its new, larger share of ownership.

🧩 Final Takeaway

Tuniu is paying a US$1.197 per ADS dividend, but the per-share amount was only set after a reverse ADS split (from 1:3 to 1:30) bundled more shares into each ADS. This move clarifies the payout for international investors and signals the company's confidence in its cash flow.
