On 31 October 2025, the Board of Directors of China Reinsurance (Group) Corporation approved a resolution to amend the Articles of Association. These proposed amendments primarily address compliance with updated legal and regulatory frameworks and reflect adjustments to the company’s governance structure. Key revisions include alignment with the Company Law of the People’s Republic of China taking effect from 1 July 2024, removal of references to the board of supervisors, and the transfer of supervisory functions to the audit committee of the Board.
The proposed amendments also clarify responsibilities of certain senior management roles, such as the chief compliance officer and those pertaining to corporate guarantees. The updated provisions respond to the abolishment of certain mandatory requirements for overseas-listed entities, resulting in modifications or deletion of references to financial assistance for share purchases. Subject to the approval of a shareholders’ meeting by way of special resolution and authorization by the insurance regulatory authority, these amendments will take effect upon completion of all required formalities. Until then, the current Articles of Association remain valid.
A circular detailing the revised clauses and next steps, including notice of the relevant shareholders’ meeting, will be dispatched under shareholders’ chosen methods of communication as soon as practicable. China Reinsurance (Group) Corporation advises shareholders to refer to official notices for full information on these changes.
