Biographical details of Mr. Liu and Ms. Lam are as follows:
Mr. Liu, aged 44, senior engineer with master's degree, joined the Company in July 2019. He currently serves as the secretary to the Board of the Company. Mr. Liu successively worked as the engineer, senior manager and special-ranked manager of AVIC Economics & Technology Research Establishment, AviChina Industry & Technology Company Limited and the general office of Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Ltd. from June 2000 to July 2010, the head of investment management division of the strategy and capital department of Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Ltd. from August 2010 to July 2014, as well as the deputy general manager of AVIC International Capital Co., Ltd from July 2014 to June 2019. Mr. Liu has been the secretary to the Board of the Company since October 2019. Mr. Liu received a master's degree from the school of economics of Minzu University of China in June 2000.
Ms. Lam is the manager of the listing service department of TMF Hong Kong Limited, an international corporate service provider. Ms. Lam has more than 10 years of professional experience in the corporate secretarial field, responsible for providing corporate secretarial and compliance services to listed company clients. Ms. Lam received a bachelor's degree from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and a master's degree in law from the University of London, Britain, and is a member of both The Hong Kong Institute of Chartered Secretaries and The Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators. Ms. Lam currently serves as the company secretary/a joint company secretary of a number of listed companies including Beijing Digital Telecom Co., Ltd. (stock code: 6188), Yadea Group Holdings Ltd.

Accordingly, Ms. Lam has the relevant professional qualifications to act as a company secretary under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules.
As Mr. Liu currently has no relevant professional qualifications required to act as company secretary under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules, the Company has appointed Ms. Lam as another joint company secretary of the Company to provide assistance to Mr. Liu, so as to enable him to acquire relevant experience required under Note 2 to Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules and to discharge the functions as a company secretary.
The Company has applied to and has been granted by the Stock Exchange a waiver (the "Waiver") from strict compliance with the requirements under Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules for a period from 31 August 2020 to 30 August 2023 (the "Waiver Period") in relation to Mr. Liu's eligibility to act as a joint company secretary of the Company, on the condition that (i) Mr. Liu will be assisted by Ms. Lam during the Waiver Period; and (ii) the Company shall notify the Stock Exchange at the end of the Waiver Period for the Stock Exchange to re-visit the situation. The Stock Exchange expects that, after the end of the Waiver Period, the Company will be able to demonstrate to the Stock Exchange that Mr. Liu can satisfy Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules after having the benefit of Ms. Lam's assistance such that a further waiver will not be necessary; and (iii) the Company will disclose details of the Waiver, including reasons and conditions, by way of an announcement. The Waiver will be revoked immediately if and when Ms. Lam ceases to provide assistance to Mr. Liu.
