Insights
Shareholders approved loss absorption, 2025 reports, and a sizeable buyback authorization.
The meeting ratified a capital reduction of US$156,587,498 to absorb accumulated losses through October 2025. This is an accounting adjustment that aligns stated capital with the company’s loss history rather than a cash outflow, and it was strongly supported in the vote.
All key 2025 reports from the CEO, board, and committees were approved, and the external auditor stated the consolidated financial statements present fairly the group’s position under IFRS. Shareholders set 2026 director compensation, mixing cash and 6,000 Series A shares or ADSs, and authorized up to US$150,000,000 for share repurchases based on accumulated profit of US$217,033,043 as of December 31, 2025. Actual impact will depend on how much of this repurchase capacity is used.
