As an employee of the Company in Mainland China who has obtained a qualification as a secretary to the Board from the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Mr. Huang Xiaolong can assist the Board to perform its functions effectively; (4) Ms. Leung Wing Han Sharon (who has the qualification of a company secretary as required under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules) will assist Mr. Huang Xiaolong to perform his duties as a company secretary; (5) Mr. Huang Xiaolong will take no less than 15 hours continuous professional training in each financial year pursuant to Rule 3.29 of the Listing Rules; and (6) Mr. Huang Xiaolong will continue to be assisted by the Hong Kong legal advisers of the Company in relation to Hong Kong corporate governance practices and the Company’s ongoing compliance with the Listing Rules.

In view of the above, the Company has applied to the Stock Exchange, and the Stock Exchange has granted, a waiver from strict compliance with Rules 3.28 and 8.17 of the Listing Rules (the “ Waiver ”) for a period of three years from the date of Mr. Huang Xiaolong’s appointment as a joint company secretary of the Company (the “ Waiver Period ”), on the conditions that: (i) Mr. Huang Xiaolong must be assisted by Ms. Leung Wing Han Sharon, as a joint company secretary during the Waiver Period; and (ii) the Waiver could be revoked if there are material breaches of the Listing Rules by the Company. Before the end of the Waiver Period, the Company must demonstrate and seek confirmation from the Stock Exchange that Mr. Huang Xiaolong, having had the benefit of Ms. Leung Wing Han Sharon’s assistance during the Waiver Period, has attained the relevant experience and is capable of discharging the functions of company secretary under Rule 3.28 of the Listing Rules such that a further waiver will not be necessary. The Stock Exchange may withdraw or change the Waiver if the situation of the Company changes.
