EDA Group outlines 20% share issue mandate, plans auditor switch to Zhonghui Anda ahead of 22 June AGM

EDA Group Holdings Limited has released its circular for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for 22 June 2026 in Hong Kong, detailing key proposals on capital mandates, board re-elections and a change of external auditor. The record date for voting eligibility is 15 June 2026, with the share register closed from 16–22 June 2026.

General Mandates • Issue & resale mandate: Directors seek authority to allot, issue or transfer treasury shares of up to 20% of the 463.32 million issued shares (excluding treasury shares) as at the AGM date, subject to a maximum 10% discount to the benchmarked price. • Share repurchase mandate: Approval requested to buy back up to 10% of issued shares over the coming year. Repurchased shares may be cancelled or held as treasury stock. • Extension: Any shares repurchased may be added to the issue mandate, potentially lifting total issuance headroom by a further 10%.

Board Movements • Re-election: Executive Director and CFO/Company Secretary Mr Cheung Man Yu, and Non-executive Directors Mr Zuo Manlun and Mr Luo Jianfeng, will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • Remuneration: Annual fees—Mr Cheung HK$0.72 million; Mr Zuo and Mr Luo HK$0.30 million each. • Shareholdings: Acting-in-concert group led by Samanea China Holdings holds 39.10% (180.97 million shares) and would rise to 43.40% if the full repurchase mandate is exercised.

Auditor Replacement • Ernst & Young will retire at the AGM after serving since 2020. • The board, on Audit Committee recommendation, proposes appointing ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Limited; the estimated audit fee for FY 2026 is HK$1.60 million. The switch is positioned as a corporate-governance measure to enhance auditor independence.
