On October 20, 2025, Zhongyuan Bank Co., Ltd. (Stock Code: 1216) released a circular announcing its 2025 second extraordinary general meeting (EGM), to be held on November 10, 2025, at Zhongyuan Bank Building in Zhengzhou, Henan Province.

Key resolutions include proposed amendments to the Articles of Association, implementation plans for the acquisition of Puyang Zhongyuan County Bank, Mengjin Minfeng County Bank, and Luanchuan Minfeng County Bank (as branches of Zhongyuan Bank), and an authorization for the chairman to manage acquisition-related matters. The meeting will also consider the appointment of an executive director for the third session of the Board, the proposed dissolution of the Board of Supervisors alongside the cancellation of associated governance structures, and updates to the procedural rules governing both shareholders’ general meetings and the Board’s meetings.

The Bank noted that the planned acquisitions, each valued below 5% of applicable percentage ratios, do not constitute notifiable or connected transactions under listing rules. The Bank also emphasized that shareholders on record as of November 5, 2025, will be eligible to vote at the EGM and that all resolutions will be decided by poll. Shareholders can appoint proxies to attend and vote. The proposed resolutions, if approved, will take effect upon final regulatory clearances where required.
