On 9 October 2024, we, Argyle Street Management, sent China Merchants China Direct Investments (CMCDI, 133 HK) a notice, to requisition CMCDI to convene an extraordinary general meeting.

CMCDI acknowledged that it received our notice on 14 October 2024, and said that it will “verify the requisition“. We fully co-operated with CMCDI on the verification process and sent them multiple reminders.

A few days later, CMCDI said that it “has completed the verification” and “will convene” the EGM.

CMCDI also knows that it needs to convene the EGM within 21 days of our notice:

Pursuant to section 567 of the Companies Ordinance, the [CMCDI] Directors required under section 566 of the Companies Ordinance to call a general meeting must call the meeting within 21 days after the date on which they become subject to the requirement.

That means the deadline is 4 November 2024 (i.e. 14 October plus 21 days).

It is now 7 November (12:30 HKT).

However, the EGM notice is still not yet published on the HKEx website.

Has CMCDI violated the Companies Ordinance?

2024 年 10 月 9 日,我們Argyle Street Management 管理的各实体向招商局中国基金 (招商局基金, 133 HK) 发出通知,要求 CMCDI 召开特别股东大会。

招商局基金确認其于 10 月 14 日收到我们的通知,并表示将“在核實函件項下召開股東大會之要求”。我们全力配合招商局基金的核实程序,并多次提醒他们尽快完成。

几天后,招商局基金表示已完成核实”并“将召开”特别股东大会。

招商局基金也明明知道需要在收到我们的通知后 21 天内召开特别股东大会:

根據公司條例第567條,[招商局基金]董事按照公司條例第566條規定的要求召開股東大會時,須於彼等受到該規定所規限的日期後的21日內召開股東大會

也就是說,招商局基金必须在11月4日或之前发出股东大会通知書(即 10 月 14 日加21 天)。

現在是11月7日香港時間下午12:30。股东大会通知書仍未在联交所网站上发布。

招商局基金是否违反了《公司条例》的规定?
