The approved items included the election of six directors, amendments to the company Articles, and amendments to its share-based compensation plan.
A total of 123,182,474 common shares, representing 55.69% of votes attached to outstanding shares as of the record date, were represented at the meeting.

Amendments to the share-based compensation plan received 84.51% support. Shareholders also reapproved Deloitte LLP as the company auditor for the ensuing year.
The approval of the Articles amendments is significant as it aligns Silvercorp’s governing documents with Hong Kong listing rules, potentially facilitating future listing or regulatory compliance in that market. The strong support for the compensation plan amendments indicates shareholder confidence in the company’s management and strategic direction. The re-election of six directors provides continuity on the board, which is crucial for executing Silvercorp’s long-term strategy.
