Effective March 14, 2008, Li Ning and Wei Ru Qin each voluntarily resigned as directors on the board of directors of Ever-Glory International Group, Inc. (the “Company”). The decision by each of these directors to resign from their positions was not the result of any material disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Based upon information submitted to the Board by Mr. Tchaikovsky and Mr. Qi, the board of directors has determined that Mr. Tchaikovsky and Mr. Qi are each “independent” under the listing standards of both the American Stock Exchange and the NASD Marketplace Rules. Neither appointee has participated in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements or any current subsidiary at any time during the past three years, and each of them are able to read and understand fundamental financial statements.
 
Agreements with Directors
 
Mr. Bennet and Mr. Qi have each have executed and delivered a director offer letter, a form of which is included with this 8-K as Exhibit 10.25. Under the terms of the agreements, each director will be entitled to the annual compensation described below.

In addition, effective March 14, 2008, the board of directors established an audit committee and a compensation committee, on which Mr. Tchaikovsky and Mr. Qi shall serve as members.
 
Upon review and discussion of such information as the Board deemed appropriate, the Board has determined that Mr. Bennet P. Tchaikovsky has the requisite attributes of an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and that such attributes were acquired through relevant education and/or experience. The board of directors has also designated Mr. Tchaikovsky as the Chairman of the audit committee, and its audit committee financial expert.
