Resignation of executive Directors

Mr. Wan To joined the Group in 2008 and before his resignation, he was the vice president of investment development and an executive Director of the Company.

The Board would like to express its sincere gratitude to the three resigned Directors for their major contribution to the Company since its listing. Since the pandemic outbreak last year, three executive Directors effectively addressed various risks and successfully kept internal and external major stakeholders' confidence in the Company. As leaders, they were perseverant and responsible, loyal and dedicated when facing the pandemic, which led to a significant improvement in the Company's operation results in the first half of the year. The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its gratitude to each of Mr. Wang Kunpeng, Mr. Li Zhubo and Mr. Wan To for their major contribution to the Company during their tenure of office.
