Asset Chain Limited has released its circular for the 2026 annual general meeting (AGM), set for 25 August 2026 at the Hong Kong Spinners Building, Kowloon. Key resolutions will cover board refreshment, auditor continuity and renewed capital mandates.

Two directors are up for re-election. Executive Chairman and CEO Mr Lai Law Kau, who has served since August 2020, seeks a new term with annual remuneration of HK$0.48 million. Independent non-executive director Mr Wu Koon Yin Welly, on the board since January 2017, also offers himself for re-election; his fee remains HK$0.16 million per year. The nomination committee confirmed Mr Wu’s independence and endorsed both candidates.

The board proposes to re-appoint Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as external auditor for the year ending 31 March 2027, with an expected audit fee of no less than HK$1.40 million.

Shareholder approval is sought for two refreshed general mandates:

• Issue Mandate: authority to allot, issue or transfer up to 20% of the company’s issued share capital, equal to a maximum 373.46 million shares based on the 1.87 billion shares outstanding as of 17 July 2026. • Buy-back Mandate: authority to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, or up to 186.73 million shares, on the Stock Exchange. An additional resolution proposes extending the Issue Mandate by the number of shares repurchased under the Buy-back Mandate.

Register of members will close from 20 August 2026 to 25 August 2026 (both days inclusive). Shareholders must lodge transfers by 4:30 p.m. on 19 August 2026 to qualify for attendance and voting rights.

All AGM resolutions will be decided by poll, with results announced on the websites of the Stock Exchange and the company after the meeting.
