Bulletin Express
03/26

Astrum Financial Holdings Limited will convene its annual general meeting (AGM) on 29 May 2026 at 11:00 a.m. in Hong Kong. Key resolutions to be tabled include fresh share issue and repurchase mandates as well as the re-election of directors.

New share issue mandate • The Board requests authority to allot, issue or otherwise deal with shares— including any disposal of treasury shares—up to 20% of the Company’s issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) as at the AGM date. • With 96.00 million shares in issue on the latest practicable date (20 March 2026), the mandate would permit issuance of up to 19.20 million new shares. • An additional resolution will allow the mandate to be extended by the number of shares repurchased under the buy-back authority.

Share repurchase mandate • Directors seek approval to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares during the mandate period, equal to a maximum 9.60 million shares. • Any repurchased shares may be cancelled or held as treasury shares, with subsequent sales or transfers subject to listing rules and Cayman Islands law. • The Board states it has no present intention to exercise either mandate but views the flexibility as beneficial.

Director movements • Executive Director and Managing Director Kwan Chun Yee Hidulf, Independent Non-executive Director (INED) Sum Loong, and INED Lau Hon Kee will retire by rotation and stand for re-election. • Lau Hon Kee, who has served as an INED since June 2016, is proposed for continued appointment under a separate resolution, in line with Corporate Governance Code provisions for INEDs exceeding nine years’ tenure.

Key AGM logistics • Shareholders recorded by 4:30 p.m. on 22 May 2026 will be eligible to attend and vote. The share register will be closed from 26–29 May 2026 (both days inclusive). • Proxy forms must reach Tricor Investor Services by 27 May 2026.

Share price context • Over the 12 months to 20 March 2026, Astrum Financial’s shares traded between HK$0.25 and HK$1.06.

Takeovers implication • Full utilisation of the 10% buy-back mandate would raise Chairman and CEO Pan Chik’s indirect holding (currently 55.64% via Autumn Ocean Limited) to approximately 61.82%, remaining below the 30% mandatory general offer threshold under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code.

Auditor re-appointment • HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited is nominated for re-appointment as the Company’s auditor for FY 2026.

The Board recommends shareholders vote in favour of all proposed resolutions at the forthcoming AGM.
