The board of directors (the "Board") of Giordano International Limited (the "Company") regrets to announce that Professor Leung Kwok ("Professor Leung"), an independent non-executive director of the Company, the chairman of the Remuneration Committee and a member of both the Audit Committee and the Nomination Committee of the Company, passed away on Monday, May 25, 2015.
The Board would like to express its deepest sorrow and extend our condolences to Professor Leung's family. Professor Leung had been Giordano's advisor and consultant for over 20 years. He had been appointed as a non-executive director of the Company on July 1, 2008 and re-designated as an independent non-executive director of the Company on July 7, 2010, but most of all, he was a great friend of the Company to which he contributed valuable guidance and support over the years. The Board would like to express its sincere appreciation for Professor Leung's tremendous contribution to the Group over the years, particularly in the realms of the Group's customer service and human resources strategies, to which Professor Leung was instrumental towards developing. Professor Leung will be long remembered by his fellow directors, the management team and the staff of the Company.

Despite Professor Leung's passing, the Company remains compliant with the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules") with respect to the minimum number of independent non-executive directors, Audit Committee members, Nomination Committee members and Remuneration Committee members. Further announcement on the chairmanship of the Remuneration Committee will be made by the Company in due course.
