The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, and the search and nomination process)
The Company s Nominating Committee noted that Ms Wang Zhejun (Ms Wang) has, since her appointment as a non-executive director of the Company, been helping out in the day-to-day management of the Company. During Ms Wang s time with the Company, the Nominating Committee noted that Ms Wang has demonstrated that she has the requisite experience, skills and management skills of an executive director.

The Nominating Committee is of the view that Ms Wang is more than capable of performing the role of an executive director after taking into account her qualifications, working experience and ability to contribute to the Company as well as her familiarity with the Company and its Management personnel and thus recommend to the Board that Ms Wang be appointed as Executive Director of the Company.

In light of the reasons above and on the recommendation of the Nominating Committee, the Board has approved the re-designation of Ms Wang as an Executive Director of the Company.
