• Share Issuance & Buy-back Mandates: Directors are seeking fresh general mandates to (i) issue new shares up to 10% of issued share capital (excluding any treasury shares), (ii) repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, and (iii) extend the issue mandate by the number of shares repurchased. The current mandates will lapse at the AGM.
• Director Elections: Six directors—Allen Fung, Stephen Chau, David N. Prince, Wong Hong-kit, Ng Leung-sing and Kenny Lam—will retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election.

• Bye-laws Update: A special resolution seeks shareholder approval for extensive amendments to align the Company’s bye-laws with Hong Kong’s new uncertificated securities market regime and to incorporate housekeeping changes. Adoption of a third amended and restated set of bye-laws will follow if approved.
