Bulletin Express
May 20

IMAX China Holding, Inc. will hold its 2026 annual general meeting (AGM) on 11 June 2026 at 7:00 a.m. (Hong Kong time) in Shanghai. Shareholders on record as of 11 June 2026 (register closes 8–11 June) may vote in person or by proxy on the following key proposals:

1. Board Composition • Re-election of three retiring directors: CEO and Executive Director Daniel Manwaring, and Independent Non-executive Directors (INEDs) Yue-Sai Kan and Janet Yang. • The Nomination Committee confirmed Ms Kan’s continued independence despite her nine-year tenure; a separate resolution will address her re-election.

2. Auditor Mandate • Re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as external auditor for FY 2026. • Estimated audit and audit-related fees: RMB2.54 million–RMB2.60 million, excluding tax.

3. Capital Management Authorities • Share Buy-back Mandate: authority to repurchase up to 10% of issued shares (maximum 33.99 million shares based on the 339.89 million shares outstanding as of 14 May 2026). Repurchased shares will be cancelled. • Share Issuance Mandate: authority to issue up to 20% of issued shares (up to 67.98 million shares), with an additional extension equal to shares repurchased under the buy-back mandate. Management states there is no immediate plan to issue new shares.

4. Ownership and Takeover Implications • Controlling shareholder IMAX Corporation holds 243.26 million shares, or 71.57% of outstanding capital. Full exercise of the buy-back mandate would raise its stake to approximately 79.52%. The board pledges not to repurchase shares to a level that would trigger a mandatory takeover offer or reduce the public float below 25%.

Proxy forms must reach Computershare Hong Kong Investor Services by 7:00 a.m. on 9 June 2026. All AGM resolutions will be decided by poll, with results disclosed on the HKEX and company websites.
