Henderson Land Development Company Limited (Henderson Land) has unveiled plans to adopt a new set of Articles of Association, subject to shareholder approval at the annual general meeting scheduled for 2 June 2026.
Key amendments are designed to:
1. Align with the latest changes to Hong Kong’s Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), enabling a treasury-share regime and permitting implied consent for website-based dissemination of corporate communications.
2. Reflect recent Listing Rules revisions that expand the paperless listing framework, including: • Virtual and hybrid general meetings with electronic voting. • Electronic submission of proxy instructions and notices. • Electronic distribution of corporate action proceeds such as dividends.
3. Introduce housekeeping updates to streamline the conduct of general meetings and other corporate matters.
4. Remove the previous 5 % material-interest threshold that restricted directors from voting on certain resolutions, bringing governance practices in line with current Listing Rules.
A circular detailing the proposed changes and the AGM notice will accompany the company’s annual report for the year ended 31 December 2025.
The board currently comprises 10 executive directors, 1 non-executive director and 6 independent non-executive directors.
The proposal will be put to shareholders via special resolution at the forthcoming AGM.
