Basic Information
I, Tian Lihui, of Chinese nationality with no foreign residency rights, was born in November 1973. I graduated from the London Business School with a Ph.D. in Financial Economics. From October 2001 to January 2003, I served as a visiting researcher at the University of Michigan Business School. From January 2003 to January 2010, I was a lecturer and associate professor at Peking University's Guanghua School of Management, teaching courses on financial management and corporate governance. Since January 2010, I have been a professor and doctoral supervisor in finance at Nankai University, where I conduct research and teaching in financial management and finance, establish the Financial Development Research Institute, and have previously been responsible for strategic development and continuing education. I have served as an independent director of the company since June 2025.
In accordance with the requirements of the "Measures for the Administration of Independent Directors of Listed Companies," I conducted a self-assessment of my independence before the disclosure of the 2025 annual report and signed the "Self-Assessment Report on Independence of Independent Directors for 2025." After evaluation by the board of directors, I confirm that I held no positions other than independent director and committee member during 2025, and I have no direct or indirect interests with the company or its major shareholders or actual controllers that could affect my independent judgment, thus meeting the independence requirements set by the China Securities Regulatory Commission and other laws and regulations.
Independent Director Annual Performance
Meeting Attendance
- Attendance at Board and Shareholder Meetings During my tenure, I attended 5 board meetings and 1 shareholder meeting, all on time, with no absences or instances of failing to attend two consecutive meetings. I did not authorize other independent directors to attend on my behalf. For each meeting agenda, I thoroughly reviewed the materials in advance, conducted research and analysis based on industry trends and capital market regulations, and provided a professional basis for decision-making. During the meeting, I carefully listened to management reports and expert opinions, raised inquiries and engaged in in-depth discussions on key issues, and exercised my voting rights prudently based on independent and objective professional judgment. All voting actions were based on the principle of safeguarding the legal rights of the company and all shareholders, especially minority shareholders, ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements and the company's operational realities. The specific attendance details for 2025 are as follows:
| Independent Director Name | Board Meeting Attendance | Shareholder Meeting Attendance | Expected Attendance at Board Meetings | Actual Attendance at Board Meetings | Expected Attendance at Shareholder Meetings | On-site Attendance | Communication Attendance | Authorized Attendance | Absences | Consecutive Absences |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tian Lihui | 5 | 1 | 4 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | No |
In 2025, I had no objections to any of the proposals reviewed and voted "in favor" on all. The convening of the board meetings complied with legal procedures, and no infringement on the legal rights of the company or minority shareholders was found.
