Sen Yue Holdings Limited 2026 AGM: Key Takeaways and Potential Price-Sensitive Developments

Sen Yue Holdings Limited held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) on January 9, 2026, at its Singapore office. The AGM covered both ordinary and special business items, with all resolutions passed by shareholders. Below is a detailed breakdown of the key highlights and price-sensitive information that investors should closely monitor.

1. Resumption of Trading on SGX

• Critical Update: The Company is currently suspended from trading on the Singapore Exchange (SGX). Management confirmed that it has a deadline of 3 May 2026 to submit a trading resumption proposal to the SGX.
• Potential Impact: This is a highly price-sensitive issue. Successful resumption of trading could have a significant positive effect on share value, while delays or failure to resume trading may adversely impact investor sentiment and liquidity.

2. Lease Renewal for Key Singapore Property

• The lease for Sen Yue’s primary Singapore property is set to expire on 31 December 2027.
• The Company has applied to JTC Corporation for a lease extension and is awaiting a response. JTC may grant a renewal for up to 20 years, subject to their stringent assessment.
• Potential Impact: The outcome of the lease renewal will affect the Company’s operational stability in Singapore. Securing a long-term lease could be seen as a positive sign for the Company’s continuity and future planning.

3. Directors’ Fees and Shortfall Resolution

• FY2026 Directors’ Fees: Approval was granted for S\$335,000 in directors’ fees for FY2026, payable quarterly in arrears. This amount covers both Independent and Non-Executive Directors.
• FY2025 Directors’ Fees: An additional S\$95,726 was approved for FY2025 to address a shortfall in previously approved fees.
• Potential Impact: While fee adjustments are not usually price-sensitive, investors should note the Company’s move to fully remunerate its leadership, which could affect perceptions of governance and cost control.

4. Board Composition and Executive Search

• The Board currently has no Executive Director or CEO. The Company is actively searching for suitable candidates, but the process is taking longer than anticipated due to the specialised nature of its business.
• No Lead Independent Director has been designated; communication is directly among the three Independent Directors.
• Potential Impact: Prolonged absence of key executive leadership could raise concerns about strategic direction and operational execution.

5. Re-election of Directors

• Mr. Tay Boon Zhuan, Mr. Lay Shi Wei, Mr. Ong Shen Chieh, and Mr. Tian JiPing were all re-elected to the Board. Their roles include chairing and serving on the Audit, Nominating, and Remuneration Committees.
• Result: All re-elections were carried with overwhelming shareholder support, though Mr. Tay’s re-election saw a small minority (0.04%) vote against.

6. Appointment of Auditors

• Messrs PKF-CAP LLP were re-appointed as Company auditors, with the Board authorised to fix their remuneration.

7. Authority to Issue Shares

• Directors received approval to issue new shares under Section 161 of the Companies Act and Rule 806 of the Catalist Rules, up to 100% of the share capital (with a 50% limit for non-pro-rata issues).
• Potential Impact: This general mandate enhances the Company’s capital-raising flexibility. While not immediately price-sensitive, significant new issuance could dilute existing shareholders if exercised.

8. Shareholder Participation and Voting Results

• All resolutions were passed with near-unanimous or unanimous support. The only minor dissent was on the re-election of Mr. Tay and the share issue mandate (0.04% against).
• No shareholder questions were submitted prior to the meeting, indicating either strong confidence or limited engagement from the investor base.

Summary for Investors

• The main price-sensitive catalyst is the potential trading resumption on SGX by May 2026. Investors are advised to monitor announcements closely for updates on the trading status and the outcome of the JTC lease extension.
• The continued absence of an Executive Director/CEO remains a governance risk until resolved.
• The authority to issue new shares gives the Company flexibility for future fundraising but also raises the potential for dilution.
• All other business items, including auditor re-appointment and directors’ fee adjustments, reflect routine governance matters.
