Capital Management • Par value: RMB 0.20 per share. • Share issues: Board authorised (within three years) to issue up to 50 % of current issued shares, subject to shareholder approval. • Share repurchase: Permitted for six specific purposes, including capital reduction, employee incentives and convertible bond conversion; aggregate buy-back cap set at 10 % of issued capital. • Share transfers: Pre-IPO shares locked for one year post-listing; directors and senior management may not sell more than 25 % of their holdings within any 12-month period and must observe a six-month lock-up after resignation.
Governance Structure • Board size: Seven directors, with at least three independent non-executive directors (INEDs) and at least one INED resident in Hong Kong. • Audit Committee: Three non-executive directors (majority INEDs) replaces a statutory supervisory board, overseeing financial reporting, internal control and auditor engagement. • Additional committees: Nomination and Remuneration & Appraisal Committees, each chaired by an INED. • Senior management: Comprises a General Manager, Chief Technology Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Board Secretary; appointments and removals subject to Board approval.
Shareholder Rights & Meetings • One-share-one-vote; separate vote counts for minority shareholders on material matters. • Annual general meeting (AGM) within six months of fiscal year-end; extraordinary meetings required within two months upon specific triggers (e.g., losses ≥ one-third of share capital or board size below statutory minimum). • Shareholders with ≥10 % of shares may requisition an EGM; those with ≥1 % may submit agenda proposals. • Detailed procedures set for electronic participation and voting; all meetings must provide online or electronic voting channels.
Profit Distribution Policy • Target of “stable dividend growth”; first allocate 10 % of annual after-tax profit to statutory reserve until it reaches 50 % of registered capital. • Cash dividends (or bonus shares) approved by shareholders must be distributed within two months of meeting approval.
Internal Controls & Audit • Comprehensive internal audit system reporting to the Board’s Audit Committee. • Audit Committee consent required for financial statement disclosure, auditor appointment, major accounting policy changes and selection of CFO.
Dissolution & Liquidation • Triggers include term expiry, shareholder resolution, major operational difficulties or regulatory revocation. • Directors serve as liquidators unless shareholders appoint others; creditors to be notified within 10 days of dissolution decision.
Overall, Huayan Robotics’ updated Articles align board composition, shareholder protections and capital rules with Chinese Company Law, CSRC requirements and Hong Kong Listing Rules, laying the governance foundation for its forthcoming H-share listing.
