Smart-Core Holdings will hold its annual general meeting (AGM) on 22 May 2026 at 10:00 a.m. in Hong Kong. Key resolutions include renewal of general mandates for share issuance and repurchase, the re-election of five directors, and approval of a final dividend.

Mandate Details • Outstanding shares: 488.68 million. • Proposed share-issue mandate: up to 20%, allowing a maximum issuance of 97.74 million new shares. • Proposed share-repurchase mandate: up to 10%, enabling the company to buy back up to 48.87 million shares. • If both mandates pass, the repurchased shares may further extend the issuance limit by the same amount, subject to the 10% ceiling.

Dividend A final dividend of HK$0.14 per share for FY 2025 is up for approval. The share register will close from 3 to 5 June 2026 for dividend entitlement.

Director Re-elections The board proposes to re-elect: 1. Executive directors Tian Weidong (Chairman & CEO) and Liu Hongbing. 2. Non-executive director Wong Tsz Leung. 3. Independent non-executive directors Lin Chen and Tang Ming Je. Tang Ming Je, having served over nine years, will be subject to a separate resolution in compliance with Hong Kong listing rules.

Key Shareholding Controlling shareholders Smart IC Limited and Tian Weidong jointly hold 53.72% of issued shares. Approval of the full buyback mandate would raise their interest to approximately 59.68% but remain within public-float requirements.

Register Closure for AGM The register of members will close from 19 to 22 May 2026; shareholders must lodge transfers by 4:30 p.m. on 18 May 2026 to vote.

Proxy forms must reach Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services no later than 48 hours before the AGM. Voting will be conducted by poll, and results will be posted on the HKEX and company websites.
