• There were no shares requiring abstention from voting as per the Listing Rules, and no shareholders had indicated any intention to vote against or abstain from voting on any of the resolutions.

Board Attendance

All directors attended the EGM by electronic means except for Ms. Wong Mei Wai Alice, who was absent due to other business commitments.

Implications for Investors and Potential Share Price Impact

• Share Consolidation: This process will reduce the total number of shares in issue, which could potentially increase the trading price per share by reducing the number of shares outstanding. Share consolidations are often used to attract institutional investors or meet minimum price requirements for listing, and may also reduce market volatility for small-cap stocks.
• Capital Reduction: By cancelling HK\$0.39 of paid-up capital on each consolidated share, the Company is restructuring its capital base. Such measures are often taken to improve capital efficiency or to set the stage for future capital operations, including distributions or restructuring of reserves.
• Both actions are potentially price-sensitive, as they reflect a proactive approach by management to optimize the Company’s capital structure and could be interpreted positively by investors seeking financial discipline and future corporate actions.

What Shareholders Should Note

• The share consolidation and capital reduction will change the number of shares held and the nominal value per share. Investors should check with their brokers or custodians about the timing and process for the share consolidation and capital reduction.
• No shareholders were required to abstain from voting, and the measures received unanimous approval, indicating strong support from the investor base.
• The Company does not hold any treasury shares as at the date of the EGM.

Conclusion

These corporate actions signal Sterling Group Holdings’ commitment to enhancing shareholder value and optimizing its share capital structure. Both the share consolidation and capital reduction are significant events that could have a material effect on the Company’s share price and future financial flexibility. Investors are strongly advised to monitor further announcements regarding the implementation dates and any additional details from the Company.
