Key resolutions to be put to shareholders include:

• Board composition – Re-election of four directors: non-executive director Yu Jinlai; executive director and CEO Shi Ming; independent non-executive directors Chan Kai Wing and Ju Hefeng. Chan, who has served since 2016, will be voted on via a separate resolution in accordance with Hong Kong’s Corporate Governance Code. – The Nomination Committee has confirmed the independence of Chan and Ju.

• Auditor – Re-appointment of BDO Limited as external auditor until the next AGM.
