Development Council. Mr. WONG is the father of Mr. WONG Ho Lung, Danny, Deputy Chairman and Non-executive Director of the Group and Ms. WONG Lan Sze, Nancy, Executive Director and Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Group.

To the best knowledge of the Board, save as disclosed above, Mr. WONG does not hold any other directorship in listed public companies in the last three years and does not have any relationship with any directors, senior management, substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company.

As at the date of this announcement, Mr. WONG had an interest in 251,162,787 shares in the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (the "SFO"). Mr. WONG's remuneration package and director's fee remain unchanged.

Mr. WONG is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Board understands that this arrangement may depart from the principle of Code Provision A.2.1 on Corporate Governance Code as contained in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the "Listing Rules"), which requires the roles of chairman and chief executive to be separate and not to be performed by the same individual, so that there is a clear division of responsibilities for the management of the Board and the day-to-day management of the Group's business to ensure a balance of power and authority.

In view of the increasing trend of business deriving from the Mainland China ("Mainland") market, it is believed that Mr. WONG being the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company will further enhance the business development of the Group in the Mainland market due to its norms on "status parity" when future business negotiations are conducted in Mainland. Besides, members of the Board also include qualified professionals and other prominent and experienced individuals from our community. The Board considers that the existing Board composition, with the support of Board Committees and two Deputy Chairmen, can ensure a balance of power and authority.
