China Literature announced that shareholders approved every item on the agenda at the 2 June 2026 annual general meeting (AGM), signalling strong investor backing for the company’s strategic and governance initiatives.

Key resolutions and support levels • FY 2025 financial statements, director remuneration authority and PwC’s re-appointment as auditor each received at least 95.67 % “for” votes. • General mandates: a 20 % share-issue mandate passed with 91.06 % support, a 10 % buyback mandate with 99.96 %, and the mandate extension with 91.05 %. • Connected-party agreements with Tencent—2027 IP Cooperation Framework and 2026 Advertisement Cooperation Framework—were ratified with 99.25 % approval among eligible votes. • A special resolution to adopt the tenth amended and restated memorandum and articles of association cleared the 75 % threshold comfortably, gaining 99.16 % backing.
Board refresh and committee changes • Long-serving independent non-executive directors (INEDs) Ms. Yu Chor Woon Carol and Mr. Liu Junmin stepped down after nearly nine years. • Shareholders elected two new INEDs: – Mr. Kong Xiangjun (law professor and IP specialist) joins the Nomination Committee. – Mr. Mak Tze Leung (former PwC partner) becomes Audit Committee chairman and joins the Remuneration Committee. • Ms. Leung Sau Ting Miranda, already an INED, was added to the Nomination Committee. • Each new INED will receive an annual director fee of HKD0.60 million, with eligibility for discretionary bonuses.
