Annual Report and Notice of AGM and EGM
Winking Studios Limited (AIM / SGX:WKS) (the "Company"), one of the leading global AAA game art outsourcing studios and an established game development company, announces that its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") will be held on Thursday, 30 April 2026 at 4.00pm (Singapore time) / 9.00am (UK time) at YMCA @ One Orchard TCT Function Room (Level 4), 1 Orchard Road, Singapore 238824 and its Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM") will be held on Thursday, 30 April 2026 at 4.30pm (Singapore time) / 9.30am (UK time) at the same venue.
The Company announces that it is seeking Shareholder approval at the EGM for the adoption of a share buyback mandate (the "Share Buyback Mandate"), which will authorise the Company to purchase its own ordinary shares of a nominal or par value of S$0.04 each in the capital of the Company ("Ordinary Shares"). The Share Buyback Mandate is required under the Company's articles of association and, if approved, will remain in force until the earlier of the Company's next AGM, its revocation or variation by Shareholders, or the point at which the Share Buyback Mandate is fully utilised. The directors of the Company (the "Directors") believe the Share Buyback Mandate will provide flexibility to undertake share purchases when appropriate, enabling the Company to return surplus capital efficiently, enhance earnings per share and/or net tangible assets per share, and support the orderly trading of its Ordinary Shares.
Under the Share Buyback Mandate, the Company may purchase up to a maximum of 10 per cent. of its issued share capital (excluding treasury shares and subsidiary holdings), subject also to a financial cap of US$3 million in aggregate for repurchase of shares transactions undertaken by the Company in any consecutive period of two (2) weeks., with the lower limit prevailing. Share buybacks may be effected through on-market purchases or off-market transactions conducted in accordance with applicable regulations. The purchase price will be subject to prescribed limits, being up to 105 per cent. of the average closing price for on-market purchases and 120 per cent. for off-market purchases. Shares acquired may be cancelled or held in treasury for future use, including to satisfy share incentive schemes. The Directors will only undertake buybacks where they consider it to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders, and will ensure that any such purchases do not adversely affect the Company's financial position or its listing status on AIM or the Catalist of the SGX-ST.
