China Medical System Holdings Limited (CMS) has issued a circular convening its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 23 April 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Hong Kong. Key resolutions to be tabled include director re-elections, a final dividend, refreshed share issue and repurchase mandates, and auditor re-appointment.
1. Final Dividend • Board recommends a final dividend of RMB0.1366 per share (equivalent to HKD0.155 / SGD0.025) for FY 2025. • Record Date: 29 April 2026. • Expected payment date: on or about 7 May 2026. • Last cum-dividend trading day: 24 April 2026 (HK) / 27 April 2026 (SG).
2. Director Re-elections • Executive Chairman & CEO Mr Lam Kong and independent non-executive director Mr Fung Ching Simon will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • Mr Lam controls 1.17 billion shares (47.86 % of issued capital) via Treasure Sea Limited.
3. Share Capital Authorities • General Mandate: authority to issue, allot or transfer treasury shares up to 20 % of issued share capital, equal to approximately 487.91 million shares based on the current 2.44 billion shares outstanding. • Repurchase Mandate: authority to buy back up to 10 % of issued shares, or around 243.95 million shares. • If the repurchase mandate were exercised in full with no new issuance, Mr Lam’s interest could rise to 53.18 %, which would trigger a mandatory offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code; the board states it has no intention to repurchase shares to that extent. • An additional resolution seeks to extend the 20 % issue mandate by the number of shares actually repurchased.
4. Auditor • Proposal to re-appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as external auditor and authorise the board to fix remuneration.
5. Key Timetable (Hong Kong time unless specified) • Share transfer deadline for AGM eligibility: 4:30 p.m., 16 Apr 2026 (HK) / 5:00 p.m., 16 Apr 2026 (SG). • Register closure for AGM: 17–23 Apr 2026 (inclusive). • AGM: 23 Apr 2026. • Share transfer deadline for dividend: 4:30 p.m., 28 Apr 2026 (HK) / 5:00 p.m., 29 Apr 2026 (SG).
Shareholders are advised to submit proxy forms no later than 48 hours before the AGM. All resolutions will be decided by poll, with results announced on the same day.
