Auto Italia Holdings Limited will convene a special general meeting on 20 May 2026 at 4:00 p.m. at United Conference Centre, Admiralty, Hong Kong. The board is asking shareholders to approve and adopt a new share scheme and a related scheme mandate limit set at 10% of the company’s issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as of the date of the resolution.
Key resolution points:

• Director Authority: Directors would be empowered to administer the scheme, amend its terms in line with Listing Rule Chapter 17, and allot or transfer shares required for award settlement. They may also apply for listing of any shares issued and agree to conditions imposed by relevant authorities.
• Scheme Mandate Limit: Capped at 10% of outstanding shares on the approval date, providing a defined ceiling for potential equity dilution.
Administrative details:
