FIT Hon Teng Limited has dispatched its circular and notice for the 2026 annual general meeting (AGM), to be held on 26 May 2026 in New Taipei City, Taiwan. Key items on the agenda are:
1. Capital mandates • Share Issue / Treasury Share Resale: The board is asking shareholders to renew a general mandate allowing the allotment, issue or resale of treasury shares of up to 20% of issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at the AGM date. Based on 7.30 billion shares in issue on 24 April 2026, this equates to a ceiling of 1.46 billion shares. • Share Repurchase: A separate mandate would permit on-market buy-backs of up to 10% of issued shares, or 730.37 million shares. If approved, the number of shares repurchased can be added to the issuance mandate, potentially lifting the aggregate issuance limit by a further 10%.
2. Board composition • Re-election: Executive chairman/CEO Lu Sung-Ching, non-executive director Huang Pi-Chun and independent non-executive director Chan Wing Yuen Hubert will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • Independence: Chan Wing Yuen Hubert has provided a Rule 3.13 confirmation of independence; the board affirms his independent status and cites his governance expertise for diversity purposes.
3. Auditor appointment • PricewaterhouseCoopers is nominated for re-appointment until the next AGM, with an estimated audit fee of US$3.30 million-US$3.57 million for FY 2026, exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses and interim review work.
4. Voting arrangements • All resolutions will be decided by poll; treasury shares and unvested restricted shares are ineligible to vote.
The circular notes Hon Hai Precision Industry’s controlling stake of 70.92%, which could rise to 78.80% if the buy-back mandate were fully exercised, still leaving adequate public float under Hong Kong Listing Rule 13.32B.
