China Merchants Bank Co., Ltd. (CM BANK) has formally transitioned to an electronic-only distribution model for all future corporate communications, according to a notification issued on 28 April 2026.

Under the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s revised Listing Rule 2.07A, effective since 31 December 2023, listed companies may adopt a “paperless” regime. CM BANK confirmed that, going forward, documents such as annual and interim reports, meeting notices, listing documents, circulars and proxy forms will be published exclusively on both the bank’s official website (www.cmbchina.com) and Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited’s website (www.hkex.com.hk).

Non-registered shareholders are requested to supply a valid email address to their custodians, brokers, banks, nominees or HKSCC Nominees Limited to receive electronic notifications when new communications are posted. Shareholders who prefer hard copies can complete and return the enclosed reply form to the bank’s Hong Kong share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, or submit a request via email to cmbchina@computershare.com.hk, specifying their name, postal address and preferred language version (English, Chinese or both).

Queries regarding the new arrangements can be directed to the share registrar’s hotline at (852) 2862 8688, Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. (Hong Kong time), excluding public holidays.

The initiative aligns CM BANK with the HKEX’s broader sustainability objectives by reducing paper usage and streamlining shareholder communication processes.
