Mr. Hu was a director of Qinghai Xiancheng Industry Stock Co., Ltd.* (now known as Qinghai Spring Medicinal Resources Technology Co., Ltd.*) ("Xiancheng Industry") (listed on Shanghai Stock Exchange ("SSE")) from Jun 2001 to Apr 2006, during which Xiancheng Industry did not timely disclose its external guarantee, and thus Xiancheng Industry did not comply with the listing rules of SSE and breached the Securities Law of the PRC (the "Incidents"). Xiancheng Industry was publicly reprimanded by SSE and warned by China Securities Regulatory Commission ("CSRC") with a fine of RMB300,000. As advised by Mr. Hu, although the Incidents were caused by untimely disclosure of the external guarantee by Xiancheng Industry, Mr. Hu was criticized by SSE and warned by CSRC with a fine of RMB30,000 since he was the then director of Xiancheng Industry. So far as the Company is aware, there is no evidence that the Incidents involved any act of dishonesty, fraudulence or issue of integrity of Mr. Hu which would affect his suitability as a director of a listed company; and the Incidents occurred more than 10 years ago. Mr. Hu has not received any further correspondences from the relevant regulatory authorities in connection with any further investigation by any judicial, regulatory or governmental authority in relation to the Incidents. The Board considers that Mr. Hu is competent and suitable to act as a Director and he possesses the experience, skill and character to be an Executive Director.
Any prior experience as a director of an issuer listed on the Exchange?
No
If no, please state if the director has attended or will be attending training on the roles and responsibilities of a director of a listed issuer as prescribed by the Exchange
