COSCO SHIPPING Holdings Co., Ltd. has issued a notice convening an H-share class meeting on 26 May 2026, to be held immediately after the same-day annual general meeting and A-share class meeting. The parallel venues will be the 47th-floor Conference Room, COSCO Tower, 183 Queen’s Road Central, Hong Kong, and Ocean Hall, 5/F, Shanghai Ocean Hotel, 1171 Dong Da Ming Road, Shanghai.
The H-share meeting will ask investors to vote by poll on two special resolutions:
1. General mandate to repurchase A shares • Authorises the Board to decide the timing, price and volume of A-share buybacks, open capital accounts, manage creditor notifications, and amend the Articles of Association as required. • The mandate remains valid from the date of approval until the earlier of the 2026 annual general meeting or any revocation by shareholders. • The Board may delegate the execution of these tasks to any director.
2. General mandate to repurchase H shares • Grants similar powers for H-share repurchases, including account opening, foreign-exchange registration, share cancellation and corresponding capital reduction. • Validity period and delegation provisions mirror those of the A-share mandate.
Key procedural details • Shareholders recorded on the H-share register on 26 May 2026 are eligible to attend and vote. • The register will be closed from 20 May to 26 May 2026; share transfer documents must reach Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 4:30 p.m. on 19 May 2026. • Proxy forms and related authorisations must be lodged with Computershare at least 24 hours before the meeting.
The mandates aim to provide the Board with flexibility in capital management, subject to subsequent disclosures and regulatory requirements.
