Upon the recommendation of the audit committee of the Company (the "Audit Committee"), the Board has resolved to propose the appointment of BDO Limited ("BDO") as the new auditor of the Company at the 2020 AGM in replacement of EY. EY will retire as the auditor of the Company upon the conclusion of the 2020 AGM and subject to the approval by the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") at the 2020 AGM, BDO will hold office as the Company's auditor until the next annual general meeting of the Company. The notice convening the 2020 AGM, together with a circular of the Company containing, amongst other things, the information on the proposed change of auditor, will be dispatched to the Shareholders in due course.

The Board and the Audit Committee confirm that to the best of their understanding and knowledge, there is no other disagreement between the Company and EY and there is no other matter regarding the retirement of EY which needed to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. EY has also provided its confirmation to the Board and the Audit Committee to confirm that from their perspective, there is no other matter needed to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders.
