At the reconvened meeting, holders of 1,459,924 ordinary shares (approximately 16.8% of issued and outstanding shares) were present in person or by proxy. Under the company’s Articles, after a half-hour lapse without a majority quorum, the shareholders present constituted a valid quorum to transact business.

The filing lists vote totals as 699,871 (59.8%), 470,828 (40.2%), and 289,225, and states the proposal was approved by a simple majority of shareholders present. The amendment is attached as Exhibit 3.1.
- Authorized share increase approved: Shareholders approved raising authorized capital to 9,000,000 ordinary shares, giving the company flexibility for future corporate actions.
- Memorandum Amendment attached: The filing includes the Memorandum Amendment as Exhibit 3.1, providing the formal documentation of the change.
- Low shareholder participation: Only 1,459,924 shares (≈16.8%) were present, indicating limited in-meeting shareholder turnout.
- Limited disclosure of intent: The filing does not state how the increased authorized shares will be used, so potential dilution or financing effects are unclear.
Insights
TL;DR: Shareholders approved a substantial increase in authorized shares at a reconvened meeting with low attendance.
The company expanded authorized capital from 1.48M to 9.0M ordinary shares, preserving the existing par value. This change gives the board greater flexibility to issue equity for financing, compensation, or other corporate actions. The meeting proceeded under a provision allowing a quorum after a half-hour lapse when a majority was absent; only 16.8% of shares were represented. The filing includes the Memorandum Amendment as Exhibit 3.1, but provides no detail on intended uses for the additional authorized shares.
TL;DR: Approved authorization increase is administratively material but the filing lacks financial context or stated use.
The numeric increase—from US$20,000 (1,481,482 shares) to US$121,500 (9,000,000 shares)—is explicit and legally effective pending the amended memorandum. Vote totals are provided, and the proposal passed by simple majority of those present. The filing does not include financing plans, issuance schedule, or impact on outstanding share count, so direct valuation effects cannot be determined from this document alone.
