CIG Plans Governance Overhaul and New Pay Framework Ahead of H-Share Listing Update

Bulletin Express03-30

CIG Shanghai Co., Ltd. (CIG, 06166) has released a slate of corporate governance proposals to be tabled at the forthcoming shareholders’ meeting, centering on amendments to core governing documents and the introduction of a formal remuneration regime for directors and senior management.

Key changes to Articles of Association • Share Capital & Registered Capital: Reflecting its October–November 2025 H-share IPO, the Company has updated Article 3 to record the issuance of 67.01 million H shares and a fully exercised over-allotment option of 10.05 million H shares. Total share count rose from 268.02 million to 345.08 million, with registered capital increasing from RMB268.02 million to RMB345.08 million. Subsequent option exercises in 2024 added 7.57 million A shares, taking total share capital and registered capital to RMB352.65 million. • Shareholding Structure: Post-IPO (with over-allotment), A shares account for 77.67% (268.02 million), while H shares represent 22.33% (77.06 million) of the 345.08 million total shares on listing. • Board Composition: The number of independent directors will decrease from four to three, maintaining a nine-member Board with one employee representative. • Effective Date: Revised Articles will take effect upon shareholder approval and once the publicly issued H shares begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Procedural Rule Revisions • Shareholders’ Meetings: Minor textual adjustments clarify ordinary-resolution matters; the Audit Committee and independent non-executive directors will continue annual reporting obligations. • Board Meetings: Financial budget and final account plans will require explicit Board approval before submission to shareholders. Director count changes mirror the Articles amendment (three independent directors).

Expanded Remuneration & Evaluation Committee Mandate Article 151 now tasks the committee with: 1. Designing a performance appraisal system incorporating ESG metrics. 2. Conducting annual evaluations of directors and senior executives. 3. Reviewing pay compliance, recommending adjustments, deferrals or claw-backs. 4. Assessing ESG event impacts on remuneration. 5. Reporting salary-management outcomes to the Board and, where necessary, shareholders. 6. Overseeing ongoing implementation and recommending policy updates.

Remuneration Management System Adoption A new framework defines remuneration principles, structure, assessment, payment, recovery and ESG accountability for directors and senior management, aligning incentives with role value, risk responsibility and company performance under A+H share regulatory standards.

Next steps All amendments require shareholder approval: • Articles of Association changes via special resolution. • Procedural rules updates and the remuneration system via ordinary resolutions.

The Board has authorised Chairman and CEO Gerald G Wong to handle related regulatory filings and registration adjustments.
