Independent Director's Basic Information
I, Zhu Chafen, born in April 1980, hold Chinese nationality and do not have permanent residency abroad. I obtained a Ph.D. in Accounting from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and am a non-practicing member of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Since 2009, I have served at the School of Management, Zhejiang University, as an assistant researcher and associate professor. I have been an independent director of the company since November 2020, and I have also served as an independent director for several other companies. As an independent director, I do not hold any other positions within the company and have no direct or indirect interests that could affect my independent judgment. In 2025, I conducted a self-assessment of my independence and confirmed compliance with regulatory requirements, which was submitted to the board. The board evaluated my independence and found no issues affecting my ability to make independent judgments.
