IWS Group Holdings Limited will seek shareholder approval for a series of routine mandates and appointments at its annual general meeting scheduled for 11 September 2026 in Hong Kong. Key details follow:
1. Capital mandates • Issue mandate: Directors request authority to allot and issue up to 160.00 million new shares, equivalent to 20 % of the 800.00 million shares outstanding as at the latest practicable date (23 June 2026). • Repurchase mandate: The board seeks approval to buy back up to 80.00 million shares, representing 10 % of issued capital. • Extension mandate: Any shares repurchased under the buy-back authority can be added to the share-issue limit.
2. Board composition Three directors will retire by rotation and stand for re-election: • Executive directors: Ma Kiu Man, Vince and Ma Yung King, Leo. • Independent non-executive director: Yau Siu Yeung. The nomination committee confirms all candidates meet independence and competency criteria.
3. Auditor re-appointment The board proposes re-appointing Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu as external auditor for the year ending 31 March 2027, with an expected audit fee of HK$1.30 million (plus out-of-pocket expenses and subsidiary audit fees). The mandate includes authorising the board to fix remuneration.
4. Shareholder logistics • Register closure: 8–11 September 2026 (both dates inclusive); shareholders must lodge transfers by 16:30 on 7 September 2026 to qualify for attendance and voting. • Voting: All resolutions will be decided by poll; proxy forms must be submitted at least 48 hours before the meeting.
5. Capital structure snapshot Total issued share capital stands at 800.00 million shares with a par value of HK$0.01 each. The largest shareholder group, comprising related parties within the Ma family, controls 70 % of the shares and would rise to 77.78 % if the full repurchase mandate were executed.
