RETIREMENT OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CHANGE OF COMPOSITION OF BOARD COMMITTEES

Reference is made to the announcement of the Company dated 12 May 2022. At the AGM, Mr. Zhang did not offer himself for re-election due to his personal commitments on his other business and accordingly retired as an independent non-executive Director upon the conclusion of the AGM (the ''Retirement''). Mr. Zhang has confirmed that he has no disagreement with the Board and there is no matter concerning his retirement that need to be brought to the attention of the Stock Exchange and the shareholders.

Following the retirement of Mr. Zhang as an independent non-executive Director, he ceased to be the member of each of the audit committee of the Company (the "Audit Committee"), nomination committee of the Company (the "Nomination Committee") and remuneration committee of the Company (the "Remuneration Committee") upon the conclusion of the AGM.

NON-COMPLIANCE WITH RULES 5.05(1) AND 5.28 OF THE GEM LISTING RULES AND TERMS OF REFERENCE OF COMMITTEES

Following the Retirement:

  1. the number of independent non-executive Directors fell below the minimum number required under Rules 5.05(1) of the GEM Listing Rules;
  2. the number of members of the Audit Committee fell below the minimum number required under Rule 5.28 of the GEM Listing Rules; and
  3. the number of members of each of the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee fell below the minimum number required under the respective terms of reference of the Audit Committee, Nomination Committee and Remuneration Committee.

The Company will endeavour to identify suitable candidate(s) to fill up the abovementioned vacancies as soon as practicable and, in any event, within three months from the effective date of Retirement as required under Rules 5.06 and 5.33 of the GEM Listing Rules, respectively. Further announcement will be made by the Company upon fulfilment of such requirements.
