Hing Lee (HK) Holdings Limited will convene its annual general meeting on 6 May 2026 in Hong Kong. Key resolutions up for shareholder approval include refreshed general mandates, board changes and dividend confirmation.
The board is asking shareholders to renew: 1. An Issue Mandate authorising directors to allot and issue up to 20% of the existing share capital, equivalent to about 161.62 million new shares based on the 808.10 million shares in issue as at 31 March 2026. 2. A Repurchase Mandate permitting buy-backs of up to 10% of issued shares, or approximately 80.81 million shares. 3. An extension allowing the issued-share mandate to be increased by any shares repurchased under the buy-back mandate.
Corporate actions proposed: • Final dividend of HK1.5 cents per share for the year ended 31 December 2025, with a record date of 14 May 2026. • Re-election of executive director Cheung Kong Cheung and independent non-executive director Kong Hing Ki, following their scheduled retirement by rotation. • Reappointment of Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited as external auditor.
Capital structure and governance highlights: • Issued share capital stands at HK$8.08 million, representing 808.10 million shares of HK$0.01 each. • A concert group led by Chairman and CEO Sung Kai Hing holds 471.61 million shares, or 58.36% of issued capital; full utilisation of the Repurchase Mandate would raise their stake to about 60.00%, still above the 50% threshold but below levels likely to trigger a mandatory offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. • Public float is expected to remain above the 25% minimum even if the buy-back mandate is exercised in full.
Shareholders must submit proxy forms to Union Registrars by 10:30 a.m. on 4 May 2026 to vote at the AGM. The share register will close from 30 April to 6 May 2026 for AGM eligibility and from 13 May to 14 May 2026 for dividend entitlement.
