Integrated Waste Solutions Group Holdings Limited (IWS) has dispatched a circular convening its annual general meeting (AGM) for 10:30 a.m. on 4 September 2026, to be held online via the Vistra eVoting Portal. Key items up for shareholder approval are summarised below:

Share Repurchase Mandate • The Board requests a general mandate to repurchase up to 10% of issued share capital—capped at 482.30 million shares, based on the 4.82 billion shares outstanding as at 22 July 2026. • Funding will come from internal resources, and the company states it has no present intention to exercise the mandate in full. • Full utilisation would raise the Cheng Yu Tung family’s deemed stake from 56.86% to 63.18%, but this would not trigger a mandatory takeover offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code.

Share Issuance Mandate • Directors also seek authority to issue up to 20% of existing share capital—up to 964.60 million new shares—with an additional extension equal to shares repurchased under the buyback mandate.

Board Composition • Three directors retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election: – Jacob Lee Chi Hin (Non-executive Director) – Francis Wong Man Chung (Independent Non-executive Director; serving since 2013) – Michael Chan Ting Bond (Independent Non-executive Director) • The Nomination Committee has affirmed their suitability and, for Mr Wong, reconfirmed independence despite tenure exceeding nine years.

Auditor Appointment • The Board proposes appointing Crowe (HK) CPA Limited as the new external auditor, with authority to fix its remuneration.

Other Business • Shareholders will vote on fixing directors’ remuneration and procedural matters. • The share register will close from 31 August to 4 September 2026 (both days inclusive). Transfers must be lodged by 4:30 p.m. on 28 August 2026 to qualify for AGM attendance and voting rights.

Voting & Participation • All resolutions will be decided by poll. • Registered and non-registered shareholders can attend, vote and raise questions via the Vistra eVoting Portal; login credentials will be provided by Tricor Investor Services. • Proxy forms (physical or electronic) must be submitted at least 48 hours before the AGM.

If Typhoon Signal No. 8 or a black rainstorm warning is in force at 7:30 a.m. on the meeting day, the AGM will be postponed, with a new schedule to be announced on the company’s and HKEX’s websites.
