Capital structure and share management • Directors are authorised to issue shares with or without special rights, create redeemable shares, and issue warrants, subject to Hong Kong’s Companies Ordinance and Listing Rules. • The company can repurchase its own shares, hold them as Treasury Shares and subsequently cancel, transfer or re-issue them. Treasury Shares carry no voting or dividend rights. • Financial assistance for third-party share purchases is prohibited. • The Articles allow payment of commissions up to 10 % of issue price on new share subscriptions.
Governance highlights • Shareholder liability is limited to any amount unpaid on shares held. • The standard Companies (Model Articles) Notice (Cap. 622H) is fully dis-applied; the company operates under its bespoke Articles. • Board size must be at least two directors; each elected or re-elected director serves a term of up to three years. • Directors may hold offices in, and transact with, associated companies provided interests are disclosed and voting restrictions observed. • The Board may convene physical, virtual or hybrid general meetings and may determine multiple meeting locations.
Shareholder meetings and voting • Annual General Meetings must be held within six months of financial year-end; 21 clear-day notice is required. • All resolutions are decided by poll unless the chairman rules that purely procedural business may be handled by show of hands. • The company can suspend share-transfer registration for up to 30 days per calendar year.
