GOFINTECH Quantum Innovation Ltd (GOFINTECH QUANT) has released its 2026 AGM circular outlining four key resolutions to be tabled on 28 August 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in Hong Kong.
Key Proposals 1. Capital Mandates • Issue Mandate: Board to request authority to allot and issue up to 2.06 billion new shares (or dispose of treasury shares) – 20% of the current 10.30 billion issued shares. • Repurchase Mandate: Authority to buy back up to 1.03 billion shares, representing 10% of issued share capital. • Extension Mandate: Share repurchases made under the Repurchase Mandate may be added to the Issue Mandate, providing an extra buffer of up to another 10% of issued shares.
2. Board Composition • Re-election of independent non-executive directors Mr Chiu Kung Chik and Ms Lui Mei Ka. – Mr Chiu, serving since 2017 and chairing the Audit and Remuneration Committees, holds 0.512 million awarded shares and an annual fee of HK$0.18 million. – Ms Lui, appointed in 2023 and sitting on the Audit, Nomination and Remuneration Committees, also holds 0.512 million awarded shares and receives HK$0.18 million per year. – The Nomination Committee confirms both directors’ independence; Mr Chiu’s tenure exceeds nine years but the Board deems his continued service beneficial.
3. Auditor Re-appointment • ZHONGHUI ANDA CPA Ltd is nominated for re-appointment as external auditor for FY 2026/27. • Expected audit fee: HK$1.63 million–HK$1.90 million.

Capital Structure Snapshot (as of 23 Jul 2026) • Issued shares: 10.30 billion; no treasury shares. • Largest shareholder Dr Liu Zhiwei holds 2.68 billion shares (26.02%). Full use of the Repurchase Mandate would lift his stake to 28.91%, still below the 30% Takeovers Code trigger.
