Samsonite International SA ( (HK:1910) ) has provided an update.

Samsonite plans to grant restricted share units to Chief Executive Officer Kyle Francis Gendreau under its share award scheme, with an aggregate target long-term incentive value of about US$7.54 million, equal to 500% of his 2026 base salary. The award, split evenly between performance-based and time-based RSUs and capped at 6,754,210 shares, will be put to shareholders for approval at the June 4, 2026 annual general meeting.

The company will also seek shareholder approval to amend its share award scheme in connection with a potential dual listing on a U.S. stock exchange, with changes becoming effective only if the dual listing proceeds. In addition, Samsonite is asking investors to renew its mandate to issue new shares for the dual listing in ADS form, extending authorization through completion of the listing or the 2027 annual meeting, which would preserve funding and capital-raising flexibility amid uncertain market conditions.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1910) stock is a Buy with a HK$26.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Samsonite International SA stock, see the HK:1910 Stock Forecast page.
