On June 1, 2023, the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company received notice from Tim Zhang that he would step down as a member of the Board, effective June 2, 2023. Mr. Zhang’s decision was not due to any disagreement with the Company’s management or Board. The Board thanks Mr. Zhang for his service.

 

Mr. Xin Wang was appointed to the Board, also effective June 2, 2023, by China Resources (Holdings) Company Limited (“China Resources”), to replace Mr. Zhang.

 

Mr. Wang will serve as a director until the close of the annual general meeting for the financial year for 2023 and until his successor is duly elected and qualified (or his earlier death, resignation or removal).

 

Mr. Wang, 38, joined China Resources in May 2013 and has served as the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Investment Committee of CR Consumer Fund since May 2018.

Mr. Wang will be entitled to standard compensation available to all non-employee directors (as described under “Executive Officer, Non-Executive Director and Key Management Compensation” in Item 6.B of the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 19, 2023).
