Preferred Share Redesignation
1 million existing preferred shares will be re-designated as Series A preferred shares, carrying 10 votes per share. This follows CEO Albert Wong's recent disclosure of 39.9% beneficial ownership, which includes these shares.

Board Gains Broad Issuance Powers
The Board will be authorized to issue up to 49 million additional preferred shares, with all terms (including voting, dividends, and conversion rights) to be determined by the Directors without requiring further shareholder approval. This represents a substantial potential for future dilution.

auto_awesomeAnalysis
This filing details proposals for an Extraordinary General Meeting that, if approved, will significantly alter Eastern International Ltd.'s capital structure and corporate governance. The key change is the re-designation of existing preferred shares and, more importantly, granting the Board the power to issue up to 49 million additional preferred shares with terms (including voting rights and conversion) determined solely by the Directors, without further shareholder approval. This represents a massive potential for future dilution and a shift in control away from ordinary shareholders, especially given the CEO's substantial existing ownership of preferred shares.
