Hanking Gold International Limited (trading as “CHINA HANKING”, stock code 03788) has formally adopted a fully electronic mode for distributing all future corporate communications, following the paper-reduction framework introduced by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing on 31 December 2023.
Key points of the new arrangement released on 19 March 2026:
1. Scope of documents • Electronic distribution will apply to directors’ reports, annual and interim reports (and any summaries), notices of meetings, listing documents, circulars, proxy forms and any other shareholder communications. • Identical English and Chinese versions will be posted on the company website (www.hankinggold.com) and HKExnews (www.hkexnews.hk). Printed copies will no longer be mailed by default.
2. Required action for non-registered shareholders • Shareholders whose shares are held through banks, brokers, custodians or HKSCC Nominees must provide a functional email address to those intermediaries to receive publication notifications. • Until an email address is on record, investors will not receive alerts and must proactively monitor the above websites for updates.
3. Opt-in for hard copies • Any shareholder preferring printed communications can complete and return the specified reply form to the company’s Shanghai office (Room 203, Building 1, Lujiazui Century Financial Plaza, No. 729 South Yanggao Road, Pudong New Area) or email a scanned copy to ir@hanking.com, indicating the desired language version (English, Chinese or both).
4. Contact channel • For further queries, the issuer directs investors to the dedicated email address ir@hanking.com.
The board, chaired by non-executive director Xia Zhuo, emphasised that the shift supports the exchange’s broader paperless listing initiative while allowing shareholders to retain the option of printed materials on request.
