Capital Management Resolutions • A 10% share repurchase mandate (Resolution 6) passed unanimously. • Conversely, the proposed 20% general mandate to issue additional shares or dispose of treasury shares (Resolution 5) and the associated extension mandate (Resolution 7) were rejected, gaining only 8.39% support each.
Governance and Attendance All directors attended the AGM in person or electronically. Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited acted as scrutineer for the poll, and Chairman & CEO Mr Zhang Guodong presided over the meeting.
