The Directors to retire in every year will be those who have been longest in office since their last election but as between persons who became Directors on the same day those to retire shall (unless they otherwise agree between themselves) be determined by lot. Accordingly, Mr. Kiang and Dr. Su, who have been longest in office since their last election, shall retire at the 2025 AGM and, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election as Directors thereat.

Further, in accordance with Article 16.2 of the M&A, the Board shall have power from time to time to appoint any person as a Director either to fill a casual vacancy or as an addition to the Board. Any Director so appointed shall hold office until the first annual general meeting of the Company. Accordingly, Ms. Zhu shall retire at the 2025 AGM and, being eligible, has offered for re-election at the 2025 AGM.

The nomination committee of the Board (the "Nomination Committee") has assessed and reviewed the annual written confirmation of independence from each of the independent non-executive Directors based on the independence criteria as set out in Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules and confirmed that all the independent non-executive Directors remain independent. Further, the Nomination Committee has also evaluated the performance of Mr. Kiang, Dr. Su and Ms. Zhu during 2024 based on the nomination policy of the Company, which was disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2024 and found their performance satisfactory. The Nomination Committee also considered that each of Mr. Kiang, Dr. Su and Ms. Zhu's experience, skills and other perspectives as set out in the Appendix to this circular can bring further contributions to the Board and its diversity. Therefore, with the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board has recommended that the retiring Directors, namely Mr. Kiang, Dr. Su and Ms. Zhu to stand for re-election as Directors at the 2025 AGM.
