Bulletin Express
Apr 30

Shirble Department Store Holdings (China) Limited (“Shirble Store”) has issued a circular convening its annual general meeting (AGM) for 11:00 a.m. on 29 May 2026 in Hong Kong. Key resolutions to be tabled include renewal of share repurchase and issue mandates, the re-election of two directors, and the re-appointment of the external auditor.

Mandate Renewals • Repurchase Mandate: Directors request authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, equivalent to 249.50 million shares, based on the 2.495 billion shares outstanding as of 24 April 2026. • Issue Mandate: Directors also seek authority to issue, sell or transfer up to 20% of issued shares, or 499.00 million shares. An extension resolution proposes adding any shares repurchased under the repurchase mandate to this limit.

Board Composition • Executive Director and Deputy Chairman Mr. Yang Ti Wei, and Independent Non-executive Director Mr. Chen Fengliang will retire by rotation and offer themselves for re-election. • The nomination committee confirms Mr. Chen’s independence under Listing Rule 3.13.

Auditor • Rongcheng (Hong Kong) CPA Limited is nominated for re-appointment. Subject to shareholder approval and a final engagement agreement, the audit fee for the year ending 31 December 2026 is expected to remain at a level similar to that of 2025.

Shareholding Snapshot and Takeovers Code Implications • Controlling shareholder Shirble BVI and its associates hold 1.37417 billion shares, or 55.08% of issued share capital. A full 10% buy-back would raise their interest to approximately 61.20%, which remains above the 25% public-float threshold and below the mandatory offer trigger under the Hong Kong Takeovers Code.

Timetable Highlights • Last day to lodge share transfers for AGM attendance: 22 May 2026 (4:00 p.m.). • Register of members closure: 26–29 May 2026 (both days inclusive). • Proxy submission deadline: 27 May 2026 (11:00 a.m.).

All AGM resolutions will be voted on by poll, and results will be released on the Stock Exchange’s and the company’s websites after the meeting.
