The Company and all members of the Board of Directors guarantee that the information disclosed is true, accurate, and complete, and that there are no false representations, misleading statements, or material omissions.
Qingdao Guoen Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the "Company" or "Guoen Shares") is about to complete its term for the fifth Board of Directors. In accordance with the Company's business development and production and operation management needs, a new election for the Board of Directors is proposed. In accordance with the "Company Law of the People's Republic of China" (hereinafter referred to as the "Company Law"), the "Shenzhen Stock Exchange Stock Listing Rules," "Shenzhen Stock Exchange Listed Company Self-Regulatory Guidelines No. 1 - Standardized Operation of Main Board Listed Companies," and the "Articles of Association," the Company has carried out the board election work. The details of the election are hereby announced as follows:
On March 30, 2026, the Company held the eighteenth meeting of the fifth Board of Directors, which reviewed and approved the "Proposal on the Election of Non-Independent Directors for the Sixth Board of Directors" and the "Proposal on the Election of Independent Directors for the Sixth Board of Directors." Following nominations by shareholders and review by the Board's Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors agreed to nominate Mr. Wang Aiguo, Mr. Li Zonghao, and Mr. Han Bo as candidates for non-independent directors of the sixth Board of Directors (candidate resumes are detailed in the appendix). The Board also agreed to nominate Mr. Sun Jianqiang, Ms. Xiang Ting, and Mr. Huang Zhaoge as candidates for independent directors of the sixth Board of Directors (candidate resumes are detailed in the appendix). These director candidates will be submitted to the Company's 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for consideration. The qualifications and independence of the independent director candidates are subject to the review and no objection from the Shenzhen Stock Exchange before the shareholder meeting can proceed with the vote.
The number of candidates for the sixth Board of Directors who concurrently hold senior management positions in the Company and those represented by employee representatives does not exceed one-half of the total number of directors. The proportion of independent directors is not less than one-third of the total number of directors, and there are no cases where independent directors have served for more than six consecutive years.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of the "Company Law" and the "Articles of Association," the aforementioned director candidates need to be submitted to the 2025 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders for consideration, and the cumulative voting system will be adopted for the vote. The term of office for the directors of the sixth Board of Directors of the Company is three years, commencing from the date of approval by the Company's shareholders' meeting.
To ensure the normal operation of the Board of Directors, before the directors of the new Board of Directors take office, the directors of the fifth Board of Directors will continue to faithfully and diligently perform their duties and responsibilities as directors in accordance with relevant laws, regulations, and the "Articles of Association." Due to the board reshuffle, Mr. Wang Yaping, an independent director of the fifth Board of Directors, will automatically resign upon the official election and effectiveness of the sixth Board of Directors and will no longer serve as an independent director or in any special committee roles of the Board, nor will he hold any other positions in the Company. Mr. Wang Yaping has no outstanding commitments that he has failed to fulfill.
