Bulletin Express
Apr 29

Century Legend (Holdings) has dispatched its 2026 AGM circular outlining resolutions for fresh capital mandates and board changes. Shareholders will vote on 5 June 2026 in Hong Kong.

Key proposals 1. Issue Mandate: Directors request authority to allot and issue up to 20% of existing issued share capital—equivalent to 65.22 million new shares, based on the 326.08 million shares outstanding as at 24 April 2026. No shares were issued under the previous mandate granted in May 2025. 2. Repurchase Mandate: Authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, or 32.61 million shares, during the mandate period. 3. Extension Mandate: Share-issue limit can be increased by the number of shares actually repurchased, potentially raising total issuance headroom to 30% of current share capital. 4. Board Elections: • Re-election of Executive Director Ms Chu Ming Tak Evans Tania (holding 5.02% stake, annual remuneration HK$3.08 million). • Re-election of Independent Non-executive Directors Mr Lau Pui Wing and Mr Wu BinQuan (each to receive HK$0.06 million in annual director fees). 5. Auditor: Proposal to re-appoint BDO Limited as external auditor. 6. Administrative Dates: Share register closes 2–5 June 2026; shareholders must lodge transfers by 4:30 p.m. on 1 June 2026 to qualify for AGM voting. Proxy forms are due by 4:00 p.m. on 3 June 2026.

Shareholding Impact Major shareholder ST (79) Investment and its concert parties currently control 49.58% of Century Legend. A full 10% buyback would raise their stake to approximately 55.09%, a level that could trigger a mandatory general offer under Hong Kong’s Takeovers Code. The board states it has no present intention to repurchase shares to that extent or to reduce the public float below 25%.

Location & Timing AGM venue: Unit 903, 9/F, Capital Centre, 151 Gloucester Road, Wanchai, Hong Kong. Commencement: 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 5 June 2026.
