Qingdao Port International (Qingdao Port) has released its circular and notice of the 2025 Annual General Meeting, to be held on 18 June 2026 at the Hyatt Regency Qingdao. Key proposals up for shareholder approval include new financing mandates, a sizeable cash dividend, auditor re-appointment and board changes.

Financing Flexibility • Securities Issuance Mandate: The board seeks authority to issue up to 20% of the company’s existing share capital (excluding treasury shares) in new A or H shares and/or convertible bonds during the mandate period. • Debt Financing Instruments (DFI) Mandate: A separate mandate would allow on-shore and off-shore issuance of bonds, notes or commercial paper with maturities up to 10 years. • Share Repurchase Mandate: Directors request approval to buy back up to 10% of outstanding A and H shares, with flexibility to cancel or hold repurchased shares as treasury stock.

Dividend Distribution • Final cash dividend proposed at RMB1.988 per ten shares, to be paid on 10 August 2026. Together with the RMB1.466 per ten shares interim dividend already distributed in December 2025, total FY 2025 cash dividends reach RMB2.24 billion, equivalent to 45% of distributable profit and about 43% of consolidated net profit. • The dividend per share will be adjusted if the share count changes before the record date. The H-share register will close 25 June–3 July 2026; shareholders on record 3 July 2026 will qualify.

Governance & Board Changes • Proposed election of Mr Bi Tao, currently Deputy GM of controlling shareholder Qingdao Port Group, as non-executive director, filling a board vacancy. • A new Remuneration Management System for directors and senior management is tabled for approval, alongside the 2025 director remuneration plan (total RMB0.32 million for independent directors; executive and employee-representative directors remunerated per company policy). • The board seeks authorisation to set an interim dividend plan for FY 2026 based on operational performance and cash flow. • ShineWing Certified Public Accountants is proposed to continue as external auditor for FY 2026, with fees estimated at RMB4.95-5.75 million.
