Guangdong Land Holdings Limited will hold its annual general meeting on 18 June 2026 in Hong Kong. Key resolutions include:
1. General Mandates • Share Issue Mandate: Directors seek authority to issue up to 20% of existing share capital—equivalent to 342.31 million shares based on the 1.71 billion shares outstanding as at 17 Apr 2026. • Share Repurchase Mandate: Authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, or 171.15 million shares. Repurchased shares can be added to the issue mandate.
2. Board Changes • Re-election of Executive Director Wang Jian, Non-Executive Director Zhang Xiaoli and long-serving Independent Non-Executive Director Vincent Marshall Lee Kwan Ho. • Lee has confirmed independence under Listing Rule 3.13 despite serving more than nine years.
3. Auditor Replacement • KPMG will retire at the AGM. The board proposes appointing Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu until the 2027 AGM. • Deloitte’s proposed audit fee is HK$1.38 million, approximately 18% lower than KPMG’s 2025 fee. • The Audit Committee cited Deloitte’s industry experience, independence controls, resource commitment (nine-member team) and cost competitiveness.
4. Shareholding Impact • GDH Limited, the controlling shareholder, holds 735.18 million shares (42.95%). Full use of the buy-back mandate would lift its stake to 47.73%, potentially triggering a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code; the board has no present intention to repurchase to that extent.
Shareholders recorded by 12 June 2026 are eligible to vote, and all resolutions will be decided by poll.
