Bulletin Express04-20

China First Capital Group Limited (“First Capital Group”) has dispatched its circular for the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), setting out several capital management and board renewal proposals to be voted on 9 June 2026 in Shenzhen.

The Board is asking shareholders to approve: • A new general mandate authorising the issue, sale or transfer of up to 20% of the company’s issued share capital. Based on the 1.85 billion shares outstanding as of 13 April 2026, the mandate would allow issuance of up to 369.60 million shares. • A share repurchase mandate covering up to 10% of issued shares, equating to a maximum 184.80 million shares. Repurchased stock may be cancelled or held as treasury shares, with any subsequent sale or transfer counting toward the 20% issue limit. • An extension that increases the fresh issue limit by the number of shares actually repurchased under the buyback mandate.

Shareholders will also vote on the re-election of three directors: 1. Dr. Zhu Huanqiang – Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director since 2018, previously with the China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Securities Finance Corporation. 2. Mr. Chu Kin Wang, Peleus – Independent Non-executive Director (INED) since 2011; the nomination committee confirmed his continued independence despite tenure exceeding nine years. 3. Mr. Qiao Huabin – INED appointed in March 2026 with more than 30 years’ experience in accounting, taxation and finance.

Other routine items include approval of the 2025 audited accounts, directors’ remuneration and re-appointment of Linksfield CPA Limited as external auditor.
