APT Satellite Holdings Limited has issued its 2026 AGM circular, outlining seven ordinary resolutions for shareholder approval at the meeting scheduled on 22 May 2026, 11:00 a.m., at the company’s Tai Po Industrial Estate headquarters in Hong Kong.
Key proposals include:
1. Dividend • Directors propose a final cash dividend of HK 6.00 cents per share for FY 2025, subject to shareholder approval. • Shareholders on the register as of 4 June 2026 will be entitled to the payout; the register will be closed 4–5 June 2026.
2. Capital Management Mandates • Share Buy-back: authority to repurchase up to 92.86 million shares, equal to 10% of the 928.57 million issued shares (excluding any treasury shares) as at the latest practicable date. • Share Issuance: authority to allot, issue or transfer up to 185.71 million new shares or treasury shares, representing 20% of issued share capital. • Extension: the issuance limit may be increased by the number of shares actually repurchased under the buy-back mandate. • The board states it has no immediate plans to exercise either mandate.
3. Board Composition • Re-election of four retiring directors: Executive Director & Vice President Lu Zheng; Non-Executive Directors Fu Zhiheng and Lim Kian Soon; and Independent Non-Executive Director Cui Liguo, who has served more than nine years but remains independent per Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.
4. Auditor • Proposal to re-appoint the current auditor and authorize the board to fix its remuneration.
5. Shareholder Logistics • Register of members closes 19–22 May 2026 for AGM eligibility; record date 22 May 2026. • Proxy forms must be lodged by 11:00 a.m. on 20 May 2026.
Additional Information • Majority shareholder APT Satellite International Company Limited holds 51.90% of issued shares; full utilisation of the buy-back mandate would raise its stake to approximately 57.67%, still above the 25% public float requirement. • The board recommends shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions.
