BaWang International (Group) Holding Limited (“BaWang Group”) has notified registered shareholders that, in line with amended Rule 2.07 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules and the company’s articles of association, all future corporate communications will be distributed primarily through the company’s website (www.bawang.com.cn) and the HKEx website (www.hkexnews.hk).
Key points:
• Scope of documents: The shift covers directors’ reports, annual and interim reports (and any summary versions), notices of meeting, listing documents, circulars and proxy forms.
• Default option: Shareholders who do not return the enclosed Reply Form by 26 May 2026 will be deemed to have consented to receiving the “Website Version.” A notification of each publication will be issued by email where an address is on record; otherwise, notice will be sent by post.
• Reply Form selections – Part A: Elect to receive an email alert plus electronic copies of all future communications and any “Actionable Corporate Communications.” – Part B: Request printed copies in English, Chinese or both for one year; this instruction must be renewed annually.
• Actionable Corporate Communications: Documents requiring shareholder action—such as dividend election forms, rights-issue applications, takeover acceptance forms and provisional allotment letters—will be emailed individually if a functional email address is available; otherwise, hard copies will be mailed with a request for updated contact details.
• Printed copies on demand: Shareholders may request hard copies at any time by writing or emailing ecomm@bawang.com.hk; documents will be supplied free of charge. Each request remains valid for one year unless revoked or superseded.
• Contact information: Queries can be directed to BaWang Group’s hotline at +852 2153 1688 (9:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday, excluding public holidays) or via ecomm@bawang.com.hk. The Hong Kong branch share registrar is Boardroom Share Registrars (HK) Limited, 2103B, 21/F, 148 Electric Road, North Point, Hong Kong.
BaWang Group states that the new distribution model supports environmental sustainability and enhances communication efficiency while maintaining shareholders’ right to receive printed materials upon request.
