Soho Holly Futures delays auditor appointment vote after failed tender process

• Soho Holly Futures flagged a delay in appointing its 2026 auditor, citing a failed tender that forced the procurement process to restart.
• Screening took longer due to tighter PRC eligibility rules for state-owned financial enterprises; some bids were disqualified, leaving fewer than three valid bidders.
• The procurement process finished on July 27; a new auditor resolution missed the AGM timeline, creating a Listing Rules Rule 13.88 breach.
• Shareholders will vote on appointing RSM China at an Aug. 20 EGM; ShineWing retired at the AGM due to Jiangsu SASAC rotation rules.
• Internal procedures were revised to start audit tenders earlier; closer coordination with professional advisers was added to prevent repeat breaches.
