GDS Holdings Limited (GDS-SW, 09698) announced that all resolutions tabled at its Annual General Meeting on 25 June 2026 were passed, reinforcing governance continuity and expanding capital-raising flexibility.

The meeting confirmed three board appointments: the re-election of Mr. Gary J. Wojtaszek, the election of Mr. David Zhang and the re-election of Ms. Hua (Kathy) Chen. The Board recorded appreciation for the contributions of outgoing directors Mr. Satoshi Okada and Mr. Lim Ah Doo.

Shareholders approved a three-year extension of the 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, securing a continued equity-based compensation framework through 2029.

KPMG Huazhen LLP was reaffirmed as independent auditor for the fiscal year ending 31 December 2026.

A key mandate authorises the Board, within 12 months of the AGM, to allot or issue ordinary shares or equity-linked securities up to 30% of the current issued share capital, excluding shares arising from existing options, warrants and specific convertible bonds held by Ping An Insurance and STT.

GDS operates under a weighted voting rights structure, allowing the WVR beneficiary to exert significant influence over shareholder resolutions.
