Sichuan Expressway Company Limited announced a plan to change its registered name to “Sichuan Expressway Group Company Limited” and to revise corresponding clauses in its Articles of Association.

Key points • Strategic rationale: The company cites expanding business lines—covering expressway assets, reconstruction and expansion projects, integrated energy, road-derived economy and industrial investment—as the driver for adopting a “group” designation that better reflects its broader scope and enhances brand image and resource integration.

• Shareholder approval required: The proposal will be put to a vote as special resolutions at an upcoming extraordinary general meeting.

• Regulatory conditions: Implementation is contingent on (1) shareholder approval and (2) completion of industrial-and-commercial registration and related filings in both mainland China and Hong Kong.

• Impact on securities: – The Hong Kong stock short names in both English and Chinese will remain unchanged. – Existing share certificates bearing the current company name will remain valid for trading, clearing, registration and settlement; no free exchange for new certificates is planned. – New share certificates issued after the change becomes effective will display the new company name.

• Articles of Association amendments: Four articles—covering the company name, introductory provisions and Party committee references—will be updated to reflect the new corporate title. No other clauses will be altered.

A detailed circular outlining the proposed name change and article revisions will be dispatched to shareholders ahead of the EGM.
