WuXi AppTec (02359): Leng Xuesong selected as independent non-executive director of the third board of directors.

Wuxi AppTec (02359) announced that as Feng Dai has served as an independent director in the company for a full term of six years, he is no longer eligible to continue serving as an independent director. Therefore, Feng Dai has informed the board of directors that he will resign from his position as an independent non-executive director of the third board of directors and as chairman or member of certain board committees. Given that Feng Dai's resignation upon the expiration of his term will result in certain board committees falling below the requirements of the Listing Rules, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Rules, and the company's Articles of Association, Feng Dai will continue to fulfill his duties as an independent non-executive director and as chairman or member of board committees until the shareholders approve the proposal to elect a new independent non-executive director at an extraordinary general meeting. After the shareholders approved the ordinary resolutions at the extraordinary general meeting, the board of directors gladly announced that Leng Xuesong has been elected as an independent non-executive director of the third board of directors. As Feng Dai will also resign from his position as a member of the Remuneration and Assessment Committee and chairman of the Nomination Committee upon the expiration of his term as independent non-executive director, in order to ensure the normal and orderly operation of the Remuneration and Assessment Committee and the Nomination Committee of the third board of directors, the board of directors agreed, after discussion among all directors, to appoint Leng Xuesong as a member of the Remuneration and Assessment Committee and chairman of the Nomination Committee from the date of his election as an independent non-executive director at the extraordinary general meeting until the expiration of the term of the third board of directors.
