What impact will this have on the stock's liquidity and float on the OTC market?

The ex‑dividend announcement will temporarily tighten Jian Pu’s OTC float. As of the September 9, 2025 ex‑date, all shares that settle on or after that date must be owned before the record date to capture the cash dividend, so investors who wish to stay long will hold the shares through the dividend. Conversely, dividend‑capture traders will buy the stock just before the ex‑date and sell right after the record date, creating a short‑term surge in turnover. Because the company is listed on the OTC‑QB market, where daily volume is already modest, this seasonal “buy‑and‑sell” flow can amplify the daily‑average‑volume (ADV) spike by 15‑30 % in the days surrounding the ex‑date, but the underlying float remains unchanged – the total number of shares outstanding is the same.

From a liquidity standpoint, the heightened activity will narrow bid‑ask spreads for a few trading sessions, offering slightly better execution for both long‑term holders and short‑term speculators. However, once the dividend window closes, the extra demand evaporates and the market typically re‑verts to its baseline depth, with spreads widening again. For traders, the key implication is to anticipate a brief, predictable volume bump and to price‑discriminate between the pre‑ex‑date “capture” price (often 0.5‑1 % above the prior close) and the post‑ex‑date “ex‑price” (roughly the dividend amount lower). Positioning ahead of the ex‑date—either by buying to stay in the stock or by short‑selling the anticipated capture rally—can be profitable, but be mindful that the liquidity boost is transitory and that any large‑cap rebalancing or broader market moves will quickly dominate the OTC‑QB’s thin order book.
