Agricultural Bank of China Limited (ABC) held its second extraordinary general meeting (EGM) of 2025 on November 28, 2025. Shareholders approved resolutions including the election of new executive and non-executive directors, and a 2025 interim profit distribution plan. The meeting also approved proposals for the issuance of financial bonds and capital tools, including non-capital bonds with total loss-absorbing capacity.

The EGM saw the election of Liu Hong as an executive director, and Zhang Qi and Zhang Hongwu as non-executive directors, all for a three-year term subject to regulatory approval. Wang Changyun was re-elected as an independent non-executive director for a three-year term. Shareholders also approved the 2025 interim profit distribution plan and a financial bond issuance plan.

Separately, ABC's board of directors, meeting on the same day, approved a donation of HK$10,000,000 to Hong Kong disaster-stricken areas for emergency relief and post-disaster reconstruction efforts. The EGM's resolutions for financial bond and capital instrument issuances were passed as special resolutions, requiring two-thirds majority shareholder approval.
