# Yangzijiang Maritime to hold EGM on Mar 6 on proposed share buyback

> Yangzijiang Maritime will hold an extraordinary general meeting on March 6 to seek shareholder approval for a proposed share buyback mandate. The company plans to buy back up to 10% of its total issued shares, approximately 348.9 million shares. The buyback can occur through on-market and off-market purchases, with maximum prices set at 105% and 120% of the average closing price, respectively. The total consideration for the maximum buyback could reach S$212.1 million for on-market purchases and S$242.5 million for off-market purchases.

\[SINGAPORE\] Maritime financial solutions provider Yangzijiang (YZJ) Maritime will hold an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) on Mar 6 to seek shareholders’ approval on the proposed adoption of a share buyback mandate.

The in-person EGM will be held at Capital Tower, along Robinson Road, at 2.30pm, the company announced in a bourse listing on Wednesday (Feb 18).

First announced in January this year, the proposed share buyback will see the mainboard-listed company purchase up to 10 per cent of its total issued shares, if approved by shareholders. This amounts to about 348.9 million of its 3.5 billion issued shares at the last practicable date.

The shares can be acquired through on-market and off-market purchases.

For on-market purchases, the maximum price payable is 105 per cent of the average closing price. For off-market purchases, the maximum price is 120 per cent of the average closing price.

The “average closing price” refers to the average of the shares’ closing market prices over the five market days immediately preceding the date of the on-market purchase, or the date of the offer in the case of an off-market purchase.

The aggregate consideration, should the company purchase the maximum buyback shares through an on-market purchase, this would amount to S$212.1 million, assuming each share is S$0.608.

In an off-market purchase, the aggregate consideration would amount to S$242.5 million, assuming each share is S$0.695.

Executive chairman and chief executive of YZJ Maritime, Ren Yuanlin, previously said that the company intends to focus on capital allocation, including through share buybacks, following its initial public offering last year.

Shares of YZJ Maritime closed flat at S$0.56 on Monday ahead of the market’s closure for the Chinese New Year holiday, prior to the announcement.
