Henderson Land Proposes New Articles of Association to Align with Revised Companies Ordinance and Paperless Listing Rules

Bulletin Express03-30

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.
