The board of directors (the "Board") of Anhui Conch Cement Company Limited (the "Company") announces that Mr. Zhou Bo ("Mr. Zhou") has tendered his resignation as an executive director, company secretary and chief accountant of the Company, and has ceased to act as authorised representative of the Company under Rule 3.05 of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("Stock Exchange") with effect from 8 June 2018 due to personal reasons. Mr. Zhou and the Board confirmed that Mr. Zhou has no disagreement with the Board and neither of them is aware of any matter in relation to Mr. Zhou's resignation which needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company or the Stock Exchange.

According to Article 98 of the articles of association ("Articles of Association") of the Company, the Board of Company shall consist of eight Directors. Following the resignation of Mr. Zhou as an executive Director, the Company fails to comply with the provisions set out in Article 98. However, the resignation of Mr. Zhou has not resulted in the number of members of the Board falling below the statutory quorum in accordance with the Company Law of the People's Republic of China ("PRC") and will not affect the operation of the Board in compliance with the rules and regulations of the PRC. The Company will appoint a new director according to the relevant rules and regulations of the PRC and the relevant election procedures under the Articles of Association.

Following the resignation of Mr. Zhou, Mr. Chiu Pak Yue Leo, a solicitor of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region as defined in the Legal Practitioners Ordinance (Chapter 159 of the Laws of Hong Kong), remains a company secretary of the Company. The Company is in the course of searching for a suitable candidate to fill the vacancy of a joint company secretary as soon as practicable. For the time being, Mr. Yu Shui, the assistant to general manager of the Company, will assist in the taking up of company secretarial duties.

The Company will make further announcement for the appointment of a new director and a joint company secretary in due course.

The Board takes this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to Mr. Zhou for his valuable contribution to the Company during his tenure.
