Shenzhen Investment Holdings Bay Area Development Company Limited (BAY AREA DEV) has released the English and Chinese versions of its Circular and Proxy Form for the 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM). The documents are now accessible on the company’s publication website (https://sihbay.aconnect.com.hk) and the HKEXnews website (www.hkexnews.hk). Printed copies are available free of charge upon request through the Hong Kong branch share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited.

In compliance with Rule 2.07A of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange’s expanded paperless listing regime—effective 31 December 2023—the company has adopted electronic dissemination for all future corporate communications. As a result, forthcoming materials will be provided online only, unless shareholders specifically request hard copies.

Shareholders wishing to continue receiving printed versions must complete and return the attached reply form or email sihbay.ecom@computershare.com.hk. Each request remains valid for one year from the date of receipt. Non-registered shareholders are advised to supply their functional email addresses to their intermediaries (banks, brokers, custodians, nominees or HKSCC Nominees Limited) to receive electronic notifications. Absent a functional email address on file, these shareholders will need to monitor the company’s and HKEXnews websites proactively for new publications.

Further enquiries can be directed to the Hong Kong branch share registrar at +852 2862 8688 during business hours. The communication is signed by Chairman Jianming Wu on behalf of BAY AREA DEV and dated 1 June 2026.
