Brilliance China Automotive Holdings Limited has dispatched a circular convening its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 18 June 2026 at the Grand Hyatt Hong Kong. Key resolutions to be tabled include:
1. Financial Statements & Auditor • Shareholders will be asked to adopt the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. • Re-appointment of Grant Thornton Hong Kong Limited as external auditor, with the board authorised to fix its remuneration.
2. Board Composition • Independent non-executive directors Mr Song Jian and Mr Jiang Bo—each in office since 2004—will retire by rotation and seek re-election via separate resolutions. • The board and nomination committee affirm both candidates’ independence despite their tenure exceeding nine years.
3. Capital Management Authorities • Repurchase Mandate: authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares (maximum 504.53 million shares based on the 5.05 billion shares outstanding as of 21 April 2026). • Issue Mandate: authority to issue and deal with new shares up to 20% of issued share capital (about 1.01 billion shares), extendable by the number of shares repurchased. • The board notes that full utilisation of the buyback mandate would raise Shenyang Sanshi’s holding from 29.99% to 33.32%, potentially triggering an obligation to make a mandatory offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. Directors state they have “no present intention” to exercise the buyback to that extent.
4. Key Dates & Participation • Share register closure: 12 – 18 June 2026 (both dates inclusive). Shareholders on record by 12 June 2026 may attend and vote. • Proxy forms must reach Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 9:00 a.m. on 16 June 2026.
The board recommends shareholders vote in favour of all proposed resolutions.
