Datronix Holdings Limited (“Datronix”) has adopted a new set of Bye-laws by special resolution passed on 4 June 2026, replacing the previous constitutional document. The updated framework modernises the company’s governance structure, strengthens shareholder rights and embeds extensive provisions for digital operations.
Key structural updates • Capital Structure: Datronix confirms an authorised share capital divided into shares of HK$0.10 each and explicitly permits share repurchases for cancellation or as treasury shares, subject to Hong Kong Stock Exchange (“HKEX”) requirements. • Financial Assistance: The company may provide financial assistance for share purchases, contingent on compliance with applicable regulations. • Variation of Rights: Special rights attached to any share class can be altered with consent of 75 % in nominal value of that class or by special resolution at a class meeting.
Board composition and powers • Board Size: A minimum of two directors is required; no maximum is set unless fixed by shareholders. • Casual Vacancies: The Board can fill vacancies, with appointees standing for re-election at the next annual general meeting. • Rotation: One-third of directors must retire by rotation at each AGM, ensuring every director faces re-election at least once every three years. • Electronic Resolutions: Written board resolutions signed by all eligible directors are valid, while material conflict matters must be handled in physical or virtual meetings.
Digital and hybrid meeting capabilities • General Meetings: Annual meetings must be held within six months of the financial year-end and may be physical, hybrid or fully electronic. • Electronic Participation: Members can attend, speak and vote through electronic platforms; the chairman has discretion to resolve technical issues during such meetings. • Notice Periods: 21 clear days for AGMs and 14 clear days for other meetings, with shorter notice permissible under HKEX rules when unanimous consent thresholds are met.
Enhanced shareholder communication • E-Delivery: Notices, corporate communications and dividend election instructions may be sent electronically, posted on the company’s website or transmitted via other digital means in accordance with HKEX regulations. • Untraceable Members: Shares of members uncontactable for 12 years, with uncashed dividends on at least three occasions, may be sold after prescribed notifications.
Dividend and capital management • Dividends: May be paid in cash, by electronic funds transfer or via scrip dividend alternatives. Interim dividends are permitted at the Board’s discretion. • Scrip Issue: Shareholders can elect to receive dividends wholly or partly in fully paid shares; fractional entitlements can be sold or adjusted for cash. • Capitalisation: Reserves may be capitalised to issue bonus shares or pay up amounts unpaid on existing shares.
Electronic instructions and corporate actions • Members may transmit dividend elections, proxy appointments and other instructions electronically. • Corporate action proceeds, such as dividends and refunds from rights issues, can be distributed through Hong Kong’s real-time gross settlement system or other electronic channels.
Director and officer protections • Indemnity: Directors, officers and auditors are indemnified against liabilities incurred in the execution of their duties, excluding fraud or dishonesty. • Information Rights: While shareholders have access to statutory records, the Board may withhold trade secrets or commercially sensitive information.
Amendments and future changes Alterations to the Bye-laws or memorandum, or any change of company name, require shareholder approval by special resolution (75 % majority).
The adoption of these modernised Bye-laws positions Datronix to operate with greater flexibility, particularly in digital communications and corporate actions, while reinforcing accountability and shareholder participation.
