NATURAL BEAUTY loses independent director Chen Ruey-Long, triggering non-compliance with HKEX board and committee rules

Bulletin Express
May 11

Natural Beauty Bio-Technology Limited announced that independent non-executive director (INED) Chen Ruey-Long resigned on 8 May 2026, citing the need to devote more time to personal affairs. His departure also removes him from the roles of Audit Committee chairman and member of both the Remuneration and Nomination Committees.

With Chen’s resignation, the board now consists of three executive directors, two non-executive directors and two INEDs. As a result, the company no longer satisfies Hong Kong Listing Rules 3.10(1) and 3.10A, which require at least three INEDs and that they represent at least one-third of the board.

Committee structures are also affected:

• Audit Committee: now falls short of the composition required under Rule 3.21. • Remuneration Committee: non-compliant with Rule 3.25. • Nomination Committee: non-compliant with Rule 3.27A.

The board is actively seeking a qualified candidate to fill the vacant INED position and restore compliance across all committees. Further announcements will be made when an appointment is confirmed.
