Since the passing away of Mr. Zhao, the Company has started the process of selecting suitable candidate(s) to fill the vacancies. In the past three months, the Company has been actively identifying candidate(s) and assessing their suitability, experiences, skills, qualifications and independency for making of the required recommendations to the Board for filling the vacancies. As more time is required for the Company to identify suitable candidate(s) and complete the nomination and appointment procedures in relation to the appointment of the INED, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange for a waiver from strict compliance with Rules 3.10(1), 3.10A, 3.11, 3.25 and 3.27 of the Listing Rules, and extend the deadline for filling the said vacancies from 22 March 2021 to 22 June 2021.
