distribute和allot都有分配的含义，二者的区别主要是：前者主要侧重于分配给若干人，如分派股息(distribute dividend)、分配资产(distribute assets)等；而后者主要用于股票分配(allotment of shares)、份额分配或者拨款(allot money for)等。

例：

1、Commencing from the 2016 financial year, subject to the budgets of the Group for the forth coming years, the Company shall, and shall cause the relevant Group Member to, distribute dividend in an amount not less than 36% of the Group’s audited consolidated net profit in the current year.

自2016年财政年度起，受限于集团未来年度的预算，公司应该并促使相关集团成员分派不少于当年集团经审计的综合纯利润的36%的股息。
