Dear Sir or Madam,
PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
AND
NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this circular is to give you notice of the EGM and the information relating to the proposal for appointment of auditor.
LETTER FROM THE BOARD
2. PROPOSED APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR
References are made to the announcements of the Company dated 29 May 2025 and 20 June 2025 (the “Announcements”). As disclosed in the Announcements, CNPGC, the ultimate controlling Shareholder of the Company, is a central state-owned enterprise regulated by the SASAC. Under the relevant requirements of the Ministry of Finance of the PRC and SASAC, there are certain limits to the number of years for which an accounting firm may continuously undertake financial auditing work in respect of a central state-owned enterprise and its subsidiaries. As the Company is a subsidiary of CNPGC and subject to the rotation requirements, accordingly, E&Y has retired as the auditor of the Company at the conclusion of the AGM and has not been re-appointed as the auditor of the Company.
E&Y has confirmed in writing that there are no matters in connection with its retirement as the auditor of the Company that should be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. The Board has confirmed that, there is no disagreement or unsolved matters between the Company and E&Y, and there are no matters in relation to the retirement of E&Y that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
With recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board has resolved to propose the appointment of BDO as the auditor of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2025, which will be subject to the approval by the Shareholders at the EGM.
In reaching its recommendation to the Board with respect to the proposed appointment of BDO as the new auditor of the Company, the Audit Committee has considered a number of factors, including but not limited to (i) the audit proposal of BDO, including the proposed audit fees and transition plan; (ii) BDO’s market reputation, track record and technical competence in providing audit services for companies listed on the Stock Exchange, central state-owned enterprises and pharmaceutical enterprises; (iii) its resources and capabilities, including manpower and time committed and information security and risk-bearing capacity, and value-added services it might provide, including professional services and solutions for internal control, digital information construction and taxation consultancy; (iv) its independence from the Group and objectivity; (v) its knowledge on the Group’s industrial features, scale, complexity and risk condition; (vi) relevant regulations in Guidelines for Effective Audit Committees – Selection, Appointment and Reappointment of Auditors published by the AFRC; and (vii) Guidance Notes on Change of Auditors published by the AFRC.
In view of the above, the Audit Committee has accessed and considered that BDO would be independent, competent and capable and suitable to act as the auditor of the Company. The Board is of the view that the appointment of BDO as the auditor of the Company is in the interest of the Group and the Shareholders as a whole.
The Board also proposes to the Shareholders that the Board shall be authorized to fix the auditor’s remuneration.
