ASTRUM FIN(08333): It is recommended to adopt the new equity purchase plan.

ASTRUM FIN (08333) announces that the board of directors has recommended the adoption of a new share option scheme for approval by the shareholders. The previous share option scheme was adopted by the company on June 23, 2016, and expired on June 22, 2026, after which no further share options could be granted under that scheme. As of the date of this announcement, there are no unexercised share options under the previous scheme. In view of the expiry of the previous scheme, and to enable the directors to continue to provide appropriate rewards to suitable and eligible persons for their contributions or potential contributions to the group, the board of directors recommends the adoption of a new share option scheme under Chapter 23 of the GEM Listing Rules.
