Dragon Mining to Seek Shareholder Approval for Director Changes and New Issuance/Buy-back Mandates at 21 May 2026 AGM

Bulletin Express
Mar 26

Dragon Mining Limited will ask shareholders to vote on several key resolutions at its annual general meeting scheduled for 21 May 2026 (10:00 a.m., Novotel Century Hong Kong).

Key proposals 1. Board changes • Executive Director and CEO Brett Robert Smith (age 64) and Independent Non-Executive Director Pak Wai Keung Martin (age 62) offer themselves for re-election. • Independent Non-Executive Director Carlisle Caldow Procter will retire and not seek re-election.

2. General share mandates • Issue mandate: Directors may allot and issue up to 20% of the company’s share capital in issue on the date of approval, equal to a maximum of 37.94 million shares (based on 189.72 million shares outstanding as of 23 March 2026). • Share buy-back mandate: Authority to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares, representing 18.97 million shares. Repurchased shares will be cancelled. • Extension mandate: The issue mandate may be increased by the number of shares actually bought back under the new buy-back mandate.

3. Shareholder reference points • Major shareholder APAC Resources Limited currently holds 51.98 million shares, or 27.39% of issued capital. If the buy-back mandate is exercised in full and no new shares are issued, APAC’s stake could rise to 30.44%, potentially triggering a mandatory general offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. • The board states it has no present intention to issue new shares or repurchase shares under the proposed mandates.

Administrative details • Shareholders must lodge proxy forms by 10:00 a.m. on 19 May 2026 (Hong Kong time). • The register of members will be closed from 18 May to 21 May 2026 (both dates inclusive) for AGM attendance and voting eligibility. • The meeting will vote by poll on all resolutions, with results to be published on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange website.

Remuneration snapshots • Brett Robert Smith: annual salary AU$0.36 million plus discretionary bonus. • Pak Wai Keung Martin: annual remuneration AU$0.03 million.

Auditor re-appointment Shareholders will also vote on re-appointing Ernst & Young as auditor and authorising the board to fix its remuneration.
