The Board of Kingmaker Footwear Holdings Limited announced that, after satisfying all reopening conditions imposed by the local authorities, the affected factory resumed partial production on 11 October 2021. About 30% of the total number of employees at the affected factory have already returned to work, and the Group estimates the factory's workforce will be increasing gradually to over 60% of the full capacity by the end of October. The Group has adopted preventive measures that are more stringent than the requirements imposed by the local authorities. All employees returning to work must have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccination and provide negative COVID-19 test results. To ensure the ongoing health and safety of the workforce, all employees working at the affected factory will be required to undertake two rapid tests per week, in addition to daily temperature checks. Should any suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases be identified, the infected employee will be isolated immediately and sent to hospital for treatment. The Board will continue to monitor the progress of production resumption at the affected factory and update the shareholders and potential investors of the company as and when appropriate.
