Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professional Association: Agrees to Lower the Financial Eligibility Threshold for Weighted Voting Rights; Current HKD 40 Billion Threshold Deemed Too Stringent

Chen Zhihua, President of the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Professional Association, stated that the association agrees with lowering the financial eligibility thresholds for companies with weighted voting rights.
