Insights
Board seeks routine governance approvals including share-issuance authority.
The notice requests shareholder approval to let the Directors issue shares under Section 161, which is a governance-level authorization allowing the board flexibility to raise capital or grant equity if later exercised. This is a procedural but potentially significant corporate power because any future share issuances could affect shareholder dilution.
The proposal to pay outside directors quarterly under the existing policy clarifies compensation timing but does not itself change pay levels in this disclosure.
Company proposes changing/appointing auditors for statutory and NASDAQ reporting.
The filing names NLA DFK Assurance PAC as the statutory auditor and Marcum Asia CPAs LLP as auditor for other NASDAQ-related reporting obligations. Appointing auditors is material to financial reporting reliability and affects who will perform audits and regulatory filings.
The resolution also seeks director authority to fix the auditors’ remuneration, a standard governance item that enables finalizing audit engagements.
