The Board is pleased to announce that Mr. Yip Kai Pong ("Mr. Yip") has been appointed as an executive Director with effect from 15 April 2021. Biographical details of Mr. Yip are set out below:

Mr. Yip, aged 42, joined the Group in February 2021 and is currently a business development manager of a subsidiary of the Company ("Group Company"). Mr. Yip graduated from The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2002 with a degree of Bachelor of Business Administration in Economics. He has more than 10 years of experience in the securities industry with extensive management and compliance experience, in particular experience as a responsible officer and a representative specialised in Type 1 (dealing in securities), Type 2 (dealing in futures contracts), Type 4 (advising on securities) and Type 9 (asset management) regulated activities under the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Chapter 571 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("SFO").

On 15 April 2021, the Company has entered into a letter of appointment ("Letter of Appointment") with Mr. Yip in relation to Mr. Yip's appointment as an executive Director for a term of three years commencing from 15 April 2021, unless terminated by not less than two months' notice in writing served by either party on the other. The appointment of Mr. Yip as an executive Director is subject to rotation and re-election pursuant to the bye-laws of the Company and the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange ("Listing Rules"). Pursuant to the Letter of Appointment, Mr. Yip is entitled to a monthly director's fee of HK$10,000 and an annual discretionary bonus as may be determined by the remuneration committee of the Board ("Remuneration Committee"). The remuneration of Mr. Yip was determined by the Remuneration Committee with reference to his background, experience, duties and responsibilities with the Group and the prevailing market conditions. Pursuant to the employment contract dated 22 February 2021 signed between the Group Company and Mr. Yip, he is also entitled to a monthly basic salary of HK$45,000 and an annual performance bonus at the sole discretion of the Group Company (or such pro-rated payment of performance bonus for employment of not less than three months in case of an incomplete year of employment) as a business development manager of the Group Company.

Mr. Yip was a director of Royal Honour Limited ("Royal Honour"), a limited company incorporated in Hong Kong. Royal Honour was dissolved by deregistration on 24 March 2017 under section 751 of the Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622 of the Laws of Hong Kong). Prior to its dissolution, Royal Honour was principally engaged in trading. To the best knowledge and belief of Mr. Yip, Royal Honour was solvent at the time of its dissolution.
