LETTER FROM THE BOARD

Further information in relation to the re-election of independent non-executive Directors

In considering and approving the nominations of Mr. Hu Benyuan, Mr. Wang Qingming and Mr. Lee Tao Wai as candidates for independent non-executive Directors of the seventh session of the Board, the Nomination Committee has considered comprehensive factors, such as the past performance of the independent non-executive Directors, the independence confirmations pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules they have furnished to the Company, and their background, skill, knowledge and experience having regard to the Board diversity policy adopted by the Board. The Board diversity policy sets out that the selection of Board candidates shall be based on a range of diversified perspectives with reference to the Company’s business strategy and the Board composition, including but not limited to gender, age, cultural and educational background, professional qualifications, skills, knowledge and regional and industrial experience. The biographical details of Mr. Hu Benyuan, Mr. Wang Qingming and Mr. Lee Tao Wai are set out in Appendix I to this circular.

Following the recommendations of the Nomination Committee, the Board has also assessed and evaluated the experience of each of Mr. Hu Benyuan, Mr. Wang Qingming and Mr. Lee Tao Wai based on the nomination policy and the Board diversity policy of the Company which were disclosed in the annual report of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Board noted that each of them has extensive experience in different professions, such as accounting and geology projects, which are relevant to the Company’s business and enable them to present objective, adequate and independent opinions and analysis on major business decisions of the Company. In addition, their respective education background and practical experience allow them to provide valuable and relevant insights and contribute to the diversity of the Board. None of them holds directorship in seven or more listed companies and the Board was of the view that they are able to devote sufficient time and efforts to the Company’s affairs. The Board believes that the Company and the Shareholders as a whole will be able to benefit from their contribution.

In view of the above, and given that the above independent non-executive Directors have furnished their independence confirmations under Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules to the Board and have not engaged in any executive management of the Company, the Board considers that Mr. Hu Benyuan, Mr. Wang Qingming and Mr. Lee Tao Wai are independent and each of their re-election is in the interests of the Company and the Shareholders as a whole. Each of Mr. Hu Benyuan, Mr. Wang Qingming and Mr. Lee Tao Wai has abstained from discussion and voting at the Board meeting and the Nomination Committee meeting regarding his respective re-election.
