On August 1, 2021, Mr. Jijin Zhang tendered his resignation as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company due to personal reasons. On the same date, the Board of the Company appointed Ms. Mingzhou Sun to be the new Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

 

Ms. Sun, age 52, has over 20 years of experience in the accounting and auditing industry. Since September 2019, Ms. Sun has been serving as the accounting director of the Company, being responsible for preparing the Company’s accounting documents in connection with the Company’s registration statements and periodic reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in the past.

Ms. Sun is a registered CPA and Certified Public Valuer in China. She also holds a level 2 certificate of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants. Ms. Sun received her Bachelor degree in Accounting from Renmin University of China in 1991.

 

In connection with Ms. Sun’s appointment, on August 1, 2021, the Company and Ms. Sun entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Sun shall receive a monthly compensation of RMB20,000 (approximately $3,091). The term of the Employment Agreement is three years, with the first six months to be the probationary period. Ms. Sun’s employment can be terminated upon both parties mutual consent. The Company may terminate the Employment Agreement if Ms. Sun does not meet the qualifications for this position during the probationary period. The Company may also terminate the Employment Agreement by giving 30 days’ written notice upon the occurrence of certain events, including Ms. Sun’s failure to perform her duties as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer due to illness. Ms. Sun may terminate her employment with the Company immediately upon the occurrence of certain events, including the Company’s failure to pay her salary in full on time. Ms. Sun’s employment is also subject to customary benefits such as paid time off, sickness allowance, and other rights and benefits.

 

There is no family relationship between each of Ms. Sun and Mr. Wong and any of our other officers and directors. Except for the compensation arrangements described above, none of which involved an amount in excess of $120,000, neither Mr. Wong nor Ms. Sun has had any transactions with us since the beginning of our last fiscal year.
