Fire Rock Seeks Fresh 20% Issuance Mandate, 10% Buy-Back Authority Ahead of 5 June AGM

Bulletin Express
May 14

Fire Rock Holdings will ask shareholders at its 5 June 2026 annual general meeting in Singapore to renew key capital-management mandates and approve board changes.

The board is requesting three mandates: 1. Issue Mandate – authority to allot, issue or deal in new shares and/or transfer any treasury shares representing up to 20% of the 242.82 million shares in issue (excluding treasury stock) as at the AGM date. 2. Repurchase Mandate – authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, equal to a maximum of 24.28 million shares. Repurchased stock may be cancelled or held as treasury shares for future resale or other uses, in line with the 11 June 2024 amendments to Hong Kong Listing Rules. 3. Extension Mandate – authority to increase the Issue Mandate by the number of shares actually repurchased under the Repurchase Mandate.

Management states any buy-backs will be executed only when deemed beneficial to shareholders and will not reduce public float below the 25% minimum nor trigger a mandatory offer under the Takeovers Code; the controlling shareholder’s stake would rise from 51.00% to 56.67% if the full repurchase capacity is used.

Board changes up for approval include: • Re-election of executive directors Zhang Yan (current chairman) and Wong Yan. • Re-election of independent non-executive directors Tam Chik Ngai Ambrose and Chiang Wing Yan (appointed 1 August 2025). All directors have three-year service terms; executive directors receive HK$30,000 per month, independent directors HK$15,000 per month.

Auditor Crowe (HK) CPA Limited is nominated for re-appointment for FY 2026, with audit fees estimated between HK$1.30 million and HK$1.50 million.

Shareholders recorded on 5 June 2026 are entitled to attend and vote; the share register closes 2–5 June 2026. Proxies must be lodged 48 hours before the meeting.
