Rongta Technology (Xiamen) Group Co., Ltd. (“Rongta Tech”, 09881) has called an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) for 24 August 2026 to vote on two key resolutions:

1. Immediate dismissal of PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as auditor. 2. Appointment of HLB Hodgson Impey Cheng Limited (HLB) to fill the resulting vacancy until the next annual general meeting, with an audit fee of HK$2.83 million.

Reasons for PwC’s Removal • PwC, engaged since Rongta Tech’s 2023 listing, raised concerns over four categories of 2025 transactions—bank-loan proceeds channelled via a related party, prepayments for media services, investments in private equity funds, and purchases of convertible bonds. • An Audit Committee–commissioned independent investigation concluded in May 2026. Despite receiving the final report and supplementary information, PwC did not provide a definitive timetable to finish the 2025 audit, prompting the Board to deem the relationship untenable. • PwC confirmed no other disagreements with the Company but maintains that the investigation left key issues unresolved and warned it would likely issue a modified opinion.

Rationale for Selecting HLB • HLB submitted a detailed, risk-based audit plan targeting completion of the FY2025 audit by October 2026, enabling publication of the long-delayed annual results. • The Audit Committee cited HLB’s governance structure, resource allocation, forensic capabilities, industry experience, and independence in recommending the firm. • A phased timetable covers transition (July-August 2026), fieldwork (August-September), and reporting (October 2026).

Shareholder Actions and Timeline • H-share register closes 19–24 August 2026; only registered holders by 18 August may vote. • Proxy forms must be lodged by 10:00 a.m. on 23 August 2026. • All resolutions will be decided by poll at the EGM.

Trading Status Rongta Tech’s shares remain suspended on HKEX since 1 April 2026 pending release of the FY2025 audited results.
