Value Partners to Seek Fresh Share Issuance & Buy-back Mandates at 12 May 2026 AGM; Four Directors Up for Re-election

Value Partners Group has dispatched a circular convening its Annual General Meeting (AGM) for 12 May 2026, 2:30 p.m. at the Artyzen Club, Hong Kong. Key proposals include renewal of general mandates for share issuance and repurchase, alongside the re-election of four directors.

Share issuance mandate • Board requests authority to allot, issue or transfer shares— including any sale of treasury shares—up to 20% of issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at the AGM date. • Based on 1.83 billion shares in issue on 24 Mar 2026, the limit equates to approximately 365.34 million shares. • The mandate would run until the next AGM, earlier revocation, or statutory expiry.

Share repurchase mandate • Board seeks approval to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, equivalent to roughly 182.67 million shares. • Repurchased shares may be cancelled or held as treasury stock, in line with Hong Kong Listing Rules and Cayman Islands law.

Extension mandate • If both mandates pass, the share-issuance limit may be increased by the number of shares repurchased, capping the aggregate at 30% of current issued capital.

Director re-elections • Executive Directors: Ms Ng Chuk Fa, Nikita (CFO) and Mr Ouyang Xi. • Non-Executive Director: Dato’ Seri Cheah Cheng Hye (co-founder, Honorary Chairman). • Independent Non-Executive Director: Dr Chen Shih-Ta Michael (serving since 2007; separate resolution required under Listing Rules for INEDs with >9-year tenure).

Dividend and book-closure • Final dividend for FY 2025 will be tabled. • Share transfer books close 7–12 May 2026 for AGM eligibility; deadline for lodging transfers is 6 May 2026. • For dividend entitlement, books close 18–20 May 2026; ex-dividend date is 14 May 2026.

Proxy logistics • Proxy forms must reach Tricor Investor Services by 2:30 p.m. on 10 May 2026. • Voting will be conducted by poll.

Investor takeaway Shareholders will decide on refreshed capital-management flexibility—potentially issuing up to 365.34 million new shares and repurchasing up to 182.67 million shares—while also voting on leadership continuity and the FY 2025 dividend at the 12 May AGM.
