RE-ELECTION OF RETIRING DIRECTORS AND A RETIRING INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR WHO HAS SERVED MORE THAN NINE YEARS
In accordance with Article 96 of the Articles of Association (the “Articles of Association”) of the Company, at each AGM, one third of the Directors for the time being shall retire from office but are eligible for re-election. Mr. YUEN Wing Sang Vincent, Mr. CHAK Hubert and Mr. CHAU Tak Hay will retire from office by rotation at the 2025 AGM. Mr. YUEN Wing Sang Vincent and Mr. CHAK Hubert, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the 2025 AGM, whereas Mr. CHAU Tak Hay has decided not to offer himself for re-election in conformity with the Company’s Policy of Board Diversity, Refreshment & Succession and Size (the “Diversity Policy”) and will retire after the conclusion of the 2025 AGM. Also, in accordance with Article 88 of the Articles of Association, any Director appointed by the Board either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board shall hold office only until the next following AGM and shall then be eligible for re-election. Mr. YUEN Man Chung, S.B.S. has been appointed by the Board as an Executive Director (“ED”) of the Company with effect from 1 September 2024. Accordingly, he will retire from office and, being eligible, has offered himself for re-election at the 2025 AGM.
It is proposed that Mr. YUEN Wing Sang Vincent, Mr. CHAK Hubert and Mr. YUEN Man Chung, S.B.S. be re-elected as a Non-executive Director (“NED”), an Independent Non-executive Director (“INED”) and an ED respectively at the 2025 AGM. Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “SEHK”), biographical details of these retiring Directors proposed for re-election are set out in Appendix I to this circular, which explain how they will contribute to the diversity of the Board.
Among the three retiring Directors who offer themselves to be re-elected, Mr. CHAK Hubert is an INED and has served the Company for more than nine years, and his re-election will be subject to a separate resolution to be approved by the Shareholders at the 2025 AGM in accordance with the Listing Rules.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
The Nomination Committee (the "Nomination Committee") of the Board has reviewed the biographical details of Mr. CHAK, and taking into account his knowledge, experience, capability and various diversity aspects as set out in the Diversity Policy, as well as his overall contribution and service over the years. Considering, in particular, Mr. CHAK has provided professional advices and insights and continued to bring in fresh perspectives to the Board over his tenure of office and Mr. CHAK's extensive experience in the fields of asset management and investment, the Nomination Committee was of the view that Mr. CHAK will continue to contribute to the Board with his perspectives, skills and experience.
Mr. CHAK has given to the Company an annual confirmation of independence as regards the factors in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules. He has also demonstrated strong independence by providing impartial views and judgments at the meetings of the Board and respective committees of the Board (the "Board Committees") over the years. He has remained committed to his independent role and has not taken part in the day-to-day management of the Company. Furthermore, Mr. CHAK has no financial or family relationships with any Directors, senior management or substantial or controlling Shareholder(s). The Nomination Committee considered that the long service of Mr. CHAK would not affect his exercise of independent judgment and was of the view that he has the required character, integrity and experience to continue fulfilling the role of an INED.
Having considered all these factors and the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board is of the view that Mr. CHAK is still independent and his re-election is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole.
REMUNERATION OF DIRECTORS
Shareholders are invited to authorise the Board to review and determine the remuneration of the Directors at the 2025 AGM.
RE-APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS AUDITOR OF THE COMPANY AND ITS REMUNERATION
KPMG, the auditor of the Company, have offered itself for re-appointment for the year ending 31 December 2025. The Board supports the re-appointment. Shareholders should note that, in practice, the amount of auditor's remuneration for the year ending 31 December 2025 cannot be determined at the beginning of the financial year for the reason that auditor's remuneration for any given year varies with reference to, inter alia, the scope and extent of the audit work which is undertaken during that year. Shareholders will be asked to delegate the authority to the Directors to fix the auditor's remuneration for the year ending 31 December 2025 at the 2025 AGM.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
GENERAL MANDATE TO ISSUE SHARES
An ordinary resolution will be proposed at the 2025 AGM to seek Shareholders' approval to grant to the Directors a general unconditional mandate to allot, issue and deal with new Shares or securities convertible into Shares, including the entering into of any agreements or the granting of any options to do any of the foregoing, up to a limit of 20% of the total number of issued Shares as at the date of the resolution. As at 1 April 2025 (the "Latest Practicable Date", being the latest practicable date prior to the bulk printing of this circular for ascertaining certain information contained in this circular), the total number of issued Shares was 794,633,719 Shares. On the basis that no further Share is issued after the Latest Practicable Date and up to the date of the 2025 AGM, the Directors will be able to allot, issue and deal with up to a total of approximately 158,926,744 Shares.
Such mandate shall remain in effect from the date of the said resolution until (i) the conclusion of the next AGM; (ii) the expiration of the period within which the next AGM is required by any applicable law or by the Articles of Association to be held; or (iii) it is revoked or varied by an ordinary resolution of the Shareholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest.
2025 AGM
The resolutions to be proposed at the 2025 AGM are set out in full in the Notice.
Pursuant to Rule 13.39(4) of the Listing Rules, all votes at the 2025 AGM will be taken by poll except where the chairman, in good faith, decides to allow a resolution which relates purely to a procedural or administrative matter to be voted on by a show of hands. After the conclusion of the 2025 AGM, an announcement of the poll results will be published on the respective websites of HKEXnews at www.hkexnews.hk and the Company at www.tradelink.com.hk. The results of the poll shall be deemed to be a resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded or required.
RECOMMENDATION
The Directors (including INEDs) are of the opinion that all the proposed resolutions are in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole and recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of all the resolutions to be proposed at the 2025 AGM.
Yours faithfully,
On behalf of the Board
Dr. LEE Harry Nai Shee, S.B.S., J.P.
