ISP Holdings Limited Announces Special General Meeting with Major Corporate Actions

ISP Holdings Limited (Stock Code: 02340) has issued a Notice of Special General Meeting (SGM) scheduled for Friday, 15 May 2026, at 10:30 a.m. at 3/F, Hay Nien Building, No. 1 Tai Yip Street, Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The SGM will seek investor approval for several significant resolutions, some of which may have material implications for shareholders and the company’s future direction.

Key Points and Potentially Price-Sensitive Resolutions

• Approval of Continuing Connected Transactions with Mrs. Chu Yuet Wah
• Adoption of a New Share Option Scheme
• Major Amendments to the Company’s Bye-laws

1. Approval of Continuing Connected Transactions

The SGM will consider and potentially approve the continuing connected transactions as outlined in the 2026 ISP Works Master Agreement dated 13 January 2026, entered into between the Company and Mrs. Chu Yuet Wah. The proposed annual caps in relation to these transactions are up for approval, confirmation, and ratification. The Board of Directors will be authorized to execute all necessary actions to implement these transactions.

• Shareholder Impact: Connected transaction approvals are often closely scrutinized by investors and regulators due to their implications for corporate governance and potential conflicts of interest. The outcome could influence market perception of transparency and related-party dealings at ISP Holdings.
• Price Sensitivity: As these are connected transactions involving a substantial shareholder, the market may react to the scale and terms of the arrangements once disclosed in detail.

2. Adoption of New Share Option Scheme

Shareholders will vote on the adoption of a new share option scheme (the “New Share Option Scheme”) which, if approved, will allow for the allotment and issuance of shares representing up to 10% of the total number of shares in issue as of the date of approval, upon the exercise of options to be granted under this and any other share schemes of the Company.

• Key Terms: The scheme is subject to the Listing Committee granting approval for the listing and permission to deal in the shares issued pursuant to the exercise of the options.
• Shareholder Impact: The issuance of up to 10% new shares is significant and could potentially dilute existing shareholders. It also aligns management incentives with performance, but may raise concerns about dilution and executive compensation.
• Price Sensitivity: Market participants will closely monitor the potential dilution effect and the rationale behind the scheme, as both could have a direct impact on share valuation.

3. Amendments to the Company’s Bye-laws

A special resolution will be proposed to approve substantial amendments to the existing bye-laws of the Company. The new bye-laws incorporate all proposed changes set out in Appendix III to the circular dated 20 April 2026. If adopted, the new bye-laws will immediately substitute the current set. The Board and company officers will be authorized to take all necessary actions to effect and implement these changes, including necessary filings in Hong Kong and Bermuda.

• Shareholder Impact: Changes to the bye-laws can affect shareholder rights, corporate governance standards, and the overall strategic direction of the Company.
• Price Sensitivity: Investors should review the specific amendments carefully, as changes to corporate governance documents may impact investor confidence and could influence trading sentiment.
