Eprint Group Limited will convene its 2026 annual general meeting (AGM) on 21 August 2026 in Hong Kong to vote on several key resolutions affecting capital management, board composition and audit arrangements.
Key proposals:
1. Capital mandates • Issuance mandate – Directors request authority to allot, issue or transfer out of treasury up to 20% of the issued share capital as at the AGM date, equivalent to a maximum of 110.00 million new shares (based on 550.00 million shares in issue on 22 July 2026, the latest practicable date). • Share repurchase mandate – Authority to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, or 55.00 million shares, with discretion to hold repurchased stock as treasury shares or cancel them. • Extension mandate – The number of shares repurchased under the buy-back mandate may be added to the issuance mandate, potentially increasing issuance capacity by a further 10%.
2. Board elections • Independent non-executive directors Mr Poon Chun Wai, Mr Fu Chung and Mr Ma Siu Kit will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • The nomination committee supports their re-appointment, citing over three decades of industry or professional experience for each candidate.
3. Auditor re-appointment • PKF Hong Kong Limited is nominated to continue as external auditor for the year ending 31 March 2027. • Estimated audit fee: HK$0.65 – 0.75 million, excluding out-of-pocket expenses.
4. Shareholder structure and Takeovers implications • Eprint Limited, jointly controlled by the founding shareholders, holds 56.93% of issued shares. • Full exercise of the repurchase mandate would raise this collective stake to 63.26%, still above the 30% Takeovers Code threshold but without triggering a mandatory general offer.
5. Timetable and administrative details • Register of members closes 18–21 August 2026 (both days inclusive); only shareholders on record as of 21 August 2026 may vote. • Proxy forms must be lodged with Tricor Investor Services by 11:00 a.m. on 19 August 2026.
If approved, both mandates and board appointments will remain in effect until the earlier of the next AGM, the statutory deadline for holding that meeting, or a prior revocation by shareholders.
