China Railway Construction Corporation Limited to Hold 2026 First Extraordinary General Meeting

Key Highlights for Investors

• Date and Venue: The 2026 first extraordinary general meeting (EGM) is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on Friday, 20 March 2026. The meeting will take place at the CRCC Bureau Building, No. 40 Fuxing Road, Haidian District, Beijing, PRC.
• Major Agenda Item: The central focus of the EGM will be the proposal regarding the addition of executive directors to the Company’s Board. Specifically, shareholders will vote on the appointments of Mr. PEI Minshan and Mr. CHEN Zhiming as executive Directors.

Details and Implications for Shareholders

The addition of new executive directors is a significant event, as it has the potential to influence the strategic direction and management of China Railway Construction Corporation Limited (CRCC). The appointment of Mr. Pei Minshan and Mr. Chen Zhiming, if approved, could bring new expertise and perspectives to the Board, possibly impacting future business decisions, operational efficiency, and corporate governance. Such changes at the boardroom level can be price-sensitive, affecting investor sentiment and, by extension, share values.

Who Can Vote and How?

• Record Date: Only H Shareholders whose names appear on the register of members as of the close of business on Monday, 16 March 2026, are entitled to attend and vote at the EGM. The H Share register will be closed from Tuesday, 17 March 2026 to Friday, 20 March 2026 (both days inclusive).
• Registration: Unregistered shareholders wishing to participate must ensure their share certificates and transfer documents are lodged with the Company’s H Share registrar, Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Limited, by 4:30 p.m. on Monday, 16 March 2026.
• Attendance Confirmation: All shareholders intending to attend the EGM must return completed reply slips to the Office of the Board of the Company no later than Wednesday, 18 March 2026.
• Proxy Voting: Shareholders may appoint one or more proxies, whether a shareholder or not, to attend and vote on their behalf. The relevant proxy forms and, if applicable, notarially certified powers of attorney, must be delivered to the designated addresses no less than 24 hours before the meeting.

Voting Method: Cumulative Voting

The EGM will adopt the cumulative voting method for the election of directors. This means that each share will carry votes equal to the number of directors to be elected, allowing shareholders to distribute votes among candidates as they see fit. For example, if a shareholder owns 100 shares and there are two director positions, they have 200 votes which can be allocated entirely to one candidate or split between both.

Important Note: If a shareholder allocates more votes than entitled, all their votes will be invalid. If fewer votes are cast, the uncast votes are considered waived.

Board Composition After Proposed Changes

As at the notice date, the Board comprises:

• Mr. DAI Hegen (Chairman and Executive Director)
• Mr. GAO Lieyang (Non-executive Director)
• Mr. MA Chuanjing (Independent Non-executive Director)
• Mr. XIE Guoguang (Independent Non-executive Director)
• Mr. TSIN Wai Lun Kenneth (Independent Non-executive Director)
• Mr. WANG Jun (Independent Non-executive Director)
• Ms. ZHU Lin (Employee Director)

The addition of Mr. PEI Minshan and Mr. CHEN Zhiming as executive Directors would expand the executive leadership and may signal enhanced management capabilities or new strategic directions.

Other Important Notes for Investors

• Identification and Documentation: Attending shareholders and proxies must bring appropriate identification documents and (if applicable) copies of authorising resolutions or powers of attorney.
• Expenses: Shareholders are responsible for their own transportation and accommodation related to attending the EGM.

Potential Impact on Share Price

The proposed appointments of two new executive Directors have the potential to be price-sensitive. Changes in the executive team can alter market perceptions regarding the company’s future strategy, governance standards, and management effectiveness. Investors should closely monitor announcements regarding the backgrounds and strategic visions of Mr. PEI Minshan and Mr. CHEN Zhiming, as their addition to the Board could influence the company’s performance and share valuation.
