Key agenda items:
1. Director Movements • Four directors—Executive Directors Liu Hua and Cai Fangliang, Non-executive Director Cheung Kwok Wah and Independent Non-executive Director Liu Jinping—will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • The Nomination Committee confirmed that all candidates, including independent director Liu Jinping, meet the Listing Rules’ independence requirements.
2. Auditor Re-appointment • Ernst & Young is nominated to continue as external auditor for FY 2026 at a fee capped at RMB 7.20 million, subject to shareholder approval.
3. Capital Management Mandates • Share Repurchase: Directors seek authority to buy back up to 10% of the issued shares (excluding treasury shares), equal to 880.77 million shares based on the 8.81 billion shares outstanding as of 21 April 2026. • Treasury Treatment: Repurchased shares may be cancelled or held in treasury, with any future resale of treasury shares to be covered under the proposed issuance mandate. • Share Issuance: A separate mandate would allow directors to issue new or re-issue treasury shares up to 20% of issued capital (about 1.76 billion shares), plus any shares repurchased under the buyback mandate. • Recent Buybacks: Over the six months to 21 April 2026, the company repurchased 257.59 million shares on-market at HK$3.97–4.49, reflecting ongoing balance-sheet management.
