REMOVAL OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

The board (the ‘‘Board’’) of directors (the ‘‘Director(s)’’) of WH Group Limited (the ‘‘Company’’, together with its subsidiaries, the ‘‘Group’’) announces that written notice has been served on Mr. Wan Hongjian (‘‘Mr. Wan’’) on 17th June 2021 to remove him from office as a Director pursuant to Article 16.18(f) of the amended and restated memorandum and articles of association of the Company (‘‘Articles of Association’’) and to terminate his service as an executive Director and a vice president of the Group pursuant to his service agreement and employment contract with the Group, with immediate effect. The reason for such removal is that the Company is of the view that Mr. Wan is unable to fulfil his duties of skill, care and diligence as a Director due to his recent misconduct of aggressive behaviors against the Company’s properties. Accordingly, Mr. Wan’s positions as an executive Director, deputy chairman of the Board, a member of the Environmental, Social and Governance Committee of the Company and Food Safety Committee of the Company and a vice president of the Group have been vacated with immediate effect on 17th June 2021.
