4. Whereas by way of Board Resolution bearing reference 202202.676, the term of office for Elected Director holding Seat 6 was extended by one additional year. Whereas a five Elected Directors voted in favour of that resolution. It is resolved that pursuant to the Bylaws, the Board is not empowered to extend the term of office of any of its elected directors and therefore Board Resolution bearing reference 202202.676 is annulled and is of no effect. It is further resolved that all of the directors who voted for Board Resolution bearing reference 202202.676 be suspended with immediate effect. 

 

5. Whereas the Board has recommended that only 3 seats be put up for election at the Annual General Members’ Meeting scheduled for the 22 June 2022 and any other day. It is resolved that the election of the 3rd June 2022 be annulled with immediate effect on the ground of unlawfulness in the selection process by the Nomination Committee. It is further resolved that in line with the Bylaws, all of the Seats should be put up for election at the next Annual General Members’ Meeting. 

 

6. Whereas given that there is no confidence in the Board as presently composed, it is resolved that the next Annual General Members’ Meeting be held on or before 27th June and that the selection of candidate and the election process be supervised by an independent body and that meeting be chaired by an independent purpose in the name of Pui Kit Cheng.
