Guangdong–Hong Kong Greater Bay Area Holdings Limited (GD-HKGBA HLDGS, 01396) has issued a circular dated 12 March 2026 proposing to change its corporate identity to “Greater Bay Area AI Computing Tech Co., Ltd.”, with the Chinese dual foreign name to be updated to “粵港灣智算科技有限公司”.
Key points:
1. Rationale • The Board states the rebranding aligns the listed group with its “infrastructure + AI” dual-track strategy adopted after the October 2025 acquisition of Wisdom Knight Holdings Limited, which marked the Company’s entry into the artificial-intelligence sector. • Management believes the new name will better reflect the Group’s business focus and enhance its market image.
2. Conditions & Timeline • The change requires: – Shareholder approval via a special resolution at an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM). – Issuance of a certificate of incorporation on change of name by the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands. • EGM details: 10:30 a.m., 2 April 2026, 17/F, Tower A, Hetao Innovation Center, Futian District, Shenzhen, PRC. • Shareholder register will be closed from 30 March 2026 to 2 April 2026 (both days inclusive). Share transfers must be lodged by 4:30 p.m., 27 March 2026, to qualify for voting. • Proxy forms must reach Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services Ltd. at least 48 hours before the meeting.
3. Post-approval Arrangements • Existing share certificates will remain valid; no exchange is required. • The stock code “01396” will be retained. • New English and Chinese stock short names will be announced after the name change takes effect.
4. Governance & Compliance • All EGM resolutions will be decided by poll in accordance with Hong Kong Listing Rules. • No shareholder is required to abstain from voting on the proposed special resolution.
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of the name change, citing strategic alignment with the Group’s expanded focus on artificial-intelligence computing services. Further announcements will disclose EGM results and the effective date of the new corporate name and stock short names.
