(Stock code: 1826)

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

On 3 May 2021, Mr. Ng Kin Siu was removed as an executive Director and Mr. Chan Yuk Sang, Mr. Wan Chi Wai Anthony and Mr. Lau Kwok Fai Patrick were removed as the independent non-executive Directors.

REMOVAL OF DIRECTORS

On 3 May 2021, the board (‘‘Board’’) of directors (the ‘‘Director(s)’’) passed a board resolution, pursuant to the terms of employment between the Company and the relevant Director(s), to remove (the ‘‘Removal’’), with immediate effect:

  • (i) Mr. Ng Kin Siu (‘‘Mr. Ng’’) as an executive Director; and

  • (ii) Mr. Chan Yuk Sang (‘‘Mr. Chan’’), Mr. Wan Chi Wai Anthony (‘‘Mr. Wan’’) and Mr. Lau Kwok Fai Patrick (‘‘Mr. Lau’’, together with Mr. Ng, Mr. Chan and Mr. Wan, the ‘‘Removed Directors’’) as the independent non-executive Directors.

REASONS OF THE REMOVAL

The Removed Directors had failed to collaborate, in a timely manner, with the other members of the Board to proactively disclose relevant information to the shareholders and potential investors of the Company. The Board takes the view that the management style and ideology of the Removed Directors are substantially different from that of the other members of the Board and it would not be in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders as a whole to allow the Removed Directors to continue to take part in the management of the Company.

The Board has confirmed that, as at the date of this announcement, apart from the foregoing, it is not aware of any matter in relation to the Removal that needs to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company.

Accordingly, the Board would like to propose an ordinary resolution to rectify the Removal in the coming annual general meeting of the Company. A supplemental circular containing further details and a supplemental notice of the annual general meeting will be sent to the shareholders of the Company as soon as practicable.

NON-COMPLIANCE WITH LISTING RULES

Following the Removal, the Company will fail to meet, among others, the requirements of (i) having at least three independent non-executive Directors on the Board under 3.10(1) of the Listing Rules; and (ii) having at least one independent non-executive directors who has appropriate professional qualifications or accounting or related financial management expertise under 3.10(2) of the Listing Rules; (iii) the audit committee comprising only nonexecutive directors with a minimum of three members under Rule 3.21 of the Listing Rules; (iv) the remuneration committee being chaired by an independent non-executive director and comprising a majority of independent non-executive directors with a minimum of three members under Rule 3.25 of the Listing Rules.
