RESIGNATION OF INDEPENDENT NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
This announcement is made by Synergis Holdings Limited (the “Company”) pursuant to Rules 13.51(2)(u) and 13.51B(2) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities (the “Listing Rules”) on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (the “Stock Exchange”).
UPDATE ON DIRECTOR’S INFORMATION
The board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company has been recently informed by Dr. Wong Yun Kuen (“Dr. Wong”), who resigned as an Independent Non-executive Director on 23 December 2020, that he was named as one of the respondents in a petition dated 18 December 2020 (the “Petition”) filed with the Court of First Instance of the High Court of Hong Kong by the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong (the “SFC”) pursuant to section 214 of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) in the matter of Superb Summit International Group Limited, the shares of which were delisted from the Stock Exchange in June 2020 (the “Delisted Company”).
The SFC alleged in the Petition that, among other things, the directors of the Delisted Company (including Dr. Wong, who was an independent non-executive director from April 2007 to June 2010) had failed to discharge their duties with due and reasonable care, skill and diligence as the management of the Delisted Company.
As the Petition does not involve the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Group”) and Dr. Wong has no role in the day-to-day operations of the Group, the Board does not consider that the Petition will have any material adverse impact on the business operation or financial position of the Group.
