INTRODUCTION & QUORUM

As the proceedings of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM" or "Meeting") were conducted in English, Mr Chia Seng Hee, Jack ("Jack Chia"), the Lead Independent Director of the Company, informed Shareholders that he had been appointed as the Chairman of the Meeting.

As a quorum was present, Mr Jack Chia, the Chairman of the Meeting of the Company, declared the Meeting open and introduced the Directors present at the Meeting and Mr Chen Guodong, an Independent Director of the Company, who joined via video conference from Beijing. It was noted that Mr Loh Weng Seng Vincent, an Independent Director of the Company, was unable to attend this Meeting and had expressed his sincere apologies.

It was also noted that the Group Vice President and the Group Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), the Company's External Auditor, CLA Global TS Public Accounting Corporation, and Company Secretary were also present.

Ms Wang Yun, Chairman of the Board of Directors ("Board"), gave an opening speech to the Shareholders. It was noted that the global economy faced multiple challenges, including geopolitical risks and conflicts, and these factors had affected the recovery and sentiment of the global economy.

2023 also marked the first year for the full implementation of the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, as well as the start of China's new journey to holistically develop into a socialist and modern country, advancing steadily and progressing towards high-quality nation building.

In 2023, the Group had continued to steadily advance towards its strategic and development goals, where the team had put in considerable efforts to achieve its annual operational goals and performance targets. Through the relentless efforts of the team, financial performance of the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 ("FY2023") had marked a positive turnaround.

Looking ahead for 2024, on the back of the new opportunities from China's "14th Five-Year Plan" and optimism from the global economic recovery, the Group was hopeful for the future. In 2024, the Group would continue to work closely together to mitigate risks in its operating environment, advancing its strategic development blueprint, and to continuously improve its value propositions to create and unlock Shareholders' value.
