As the Company is incorporated in Italy with its headquarters and main business operations in Italy while being listed in Hong Kong, the Company is of the view that it would be in the best interests of the Company and of good corporate governance to have both Ms. Cane, who possesses the relevant qualification and experience in Italian legal and corporate administrative matters, and Ms. Yuen, who is familiar with the Hong Kong regulatory environment, to act as the joint company secretaries of the Company.
