Mr. Xia Qing, the company's current independent non-executive director, has submitted his written resignation to the board of directors, effective from June 15, 2026. His decision to step down is due to his tenure approaching the six-year maximum limit for independent directors as stipulated by the China Securities Regulatory Commission's "Administrative Measures for Independent Directors of Listed Companies".

Consequently, Mr. Xia Qing will relinquish his roles as an independent non-executive director, as well as his positions as Chairman of the Board Nomination Committee, and member of both the Board Strategy Committee and the Board Audit Committee.

The resignation will become official following the election of a new independent non-executive director by the company's shareholders at a general meeting. Until that time and the subsequent effectiveness of his resignation, Mr. Xia Qing will continue to fulfill his duties as an independent non-executive director and perform his responsibilities within the relevant board committees.
