Bulletin Express
04/23

Zall Smart Commerce Group Ltd. (Zall Smart Commerce) has issued its circular for the Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for 28 May 2026 in Wuhan, detailing proposed authorisations, director re-elections and procedural information.

Key Proposals

1. Renewal of Share Issuance Mandate • Directors seek authority to allot, issue or transfer up to 20% of existing issued shares, excluding any treasury shares. • Based on 12.40 billion shares outstanding on 17 April 2026, the mandate would permit issuance of up to 2.48 billion shares. • The mandate will expire at the earlier of the next AGM, any earlier shareholder revocation, or the statutory deadline for holding the next AGM.

2. Renewal of Share Buy-Back Mandate • The Board requests approval to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, equal to a ceiling of 1.24 billion shares. • Repurchased shares may be cancelled or held as treasury shares, subject to Listing Rules amendments effective 11 June 2024. • The company confirms no current intention to exercise the buy-back mandate immediately and will ensure any repurchases do not reduce public float below 15%.

3. Extension of Issue Mandate • The number of shares bought back under the renewed buy-back mandate can be added to the 20% issuance limit, effectively enlarging the potential issuance headroom by the volume repurchased.

4. Re-election of Directors • Executive Director: Ms Fan Xiaolan (56) stands for re-election; annual remuneration HKD 0.24 million. • Independent Non-Executive Directors: – Mr Cheung Ka Fai (51), serving since 2011; annual remuneration HKD 0.30 million. – Mr Zhu Zhengfu (62), serving since 2017; annual remuneration HKD 0.30 million. • Both independent directors have served over nine years. The Nomination Committee affirms their continued independence and recommends re-election through separate resolutions.

5. Auditor Re-appointment • Re-appointment of Baker Tilly Hong Kong Limited as external auditor for the next fiscal year is proposed.

Capital Structure and Control

• Total outstanding shares: 12.40 billion. • Executive Chairman Yan Zhi holds 8.71 billion shares (70.22% stake). Full utilisation of the buy-back mandate would raise his interest to approximately 78.02%, still above the mandatory offer trigger threshold under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code.
