CITIC Telecom Schedules 20 May 2026 AGM; Seeks Renewal of 20% Issuance Mandate, 10% Buy-back Limit and Re-election of Three Directors

CITIC Telecom International Holdings Limited will convene its 2026 annual general meeting on 20 May 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Concord Room I, Renaissance Harbour View Hotel, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Key resolutions include renewal of share mandates and the re-election of directors.

Share issuance and buy-back proposals • General issue mandate: authority to allot, issue or dispose of shares up to 20% of the issued share capital on the AGM date, excluding any treasury shares. Based on the 3,700.89 million shares outstanding on 10 April 2026, the limit equals approximately 740.18 million shares. • Share buy-back mandate: authority to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, or about 370.09 million shares. Repurchased stock may be cancelled or retained as treasury shares. • Extension mandate: any shares repurchased under the 10% authority may be added to the 20% issue mandate.

Director re-elections • Executive Chairman Luo Xicheng, Chief Executive Officer Wu Jun and Independent Non-executive Director Wen Ku will retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election. – Luo Xicheng (age 59) chairs CITIC Telecom, CTM, CPC and CEC and has extensive engineering and management experience in the information and electronics sectors. – Wu Jun (age 50) became CEO and Executive Director in July 2025, bringing technology and fintech expertise from prior roles at CITIC Technology Development and China CITIC Bank. – Wen Ku (age 65) joined the board in 2022, is deemed independent under Rule 3.13, and has over three decades of experience in China’s information and communications sector.

Other AGM business • Shareholders will vote on the FY 2025 audited accounts, a final dividend (amount not specified in the circular) and the re-appointment of KPMG as auditor. • The board, citing flexibility, currently has no plans to exercise the proposed mandates. • CITIC Group and subsidiaries hold 57.54% of issued shares; the board does not expect the buy-back mandate to trigger a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code.

Key dates • Register closure for AGM: 15–20 May 2026 (both days inclusive). • Register closure for final dividend: 28 May–1 June 2026 (both days inclusive); last day to register transfers for dividend entitlement is 27 May 2026.

Shareholders must submit proxy forms to Tricor Investor Services by 10:00 a.m. on 18 May 2026 (Hong Kong time) if unable to attend the meeting in person.
