China Yurun Food Group will ask shareholders to approve several key authorisations at its annual general meeting scheduled for 10:00 a.m. on 9 June 2026 at the company’s Nanjing headquarters.
Mandate to repurchase up to 10% of shares • The board seeks a new 12-month authority to buy back up to 182.28 million shares, equivalent to 10% of the 1.82 billion shares outstanding as of 20 April 2026. • Repurchases would be funded from distributable reserves or the share premium account, in line with Bermuda law and Hong Kong Listing Rules. • Full use of the mandate would lift major shareholder Willie Holdings’ stake from 25.82% to 28.69%; the board pledges to maintain the minimum 25% public float.
Mandate to issue up to 20% new shares, with 10% extension • Directors also request authority to issue up to 364.55 million new shares (20% of current issued shares). • A separate resolution would extend this capacity by the number of shares repurchased, effectively raising the potential issue limit to 30% of existing share capital.
Board refresh and auditor re-appointment • Independent non-executive directors Gao Hui (on the board since 2005) and Chen Jianguo (since 2010) will stand for re-election. The nomination committee confirms both meet independence criteria despite their long tenure. • BDO Limited is nominated for another term as external auditor.
Key dates and procedures • Register of members closes 4–9 June 2026; shareholders must lodge transfers by 4:30 p.m. on 3 June to qualify for AGM attendance and voting. • All resolutions will be decided by poll; proxy forms must reach Tricor Investor Services at least 48 hours before the meeting.
Market context • Yurun Food’s shares traded between HK$0.118 and HK$0.107 in April 2026. The company did not repurchase any shares in the six months preceding 20 April 2026.
