XUNZHONG (02597): Suggest appointing Deloitte as the auditor for Xunzhong in Hong Kong.

XUNZHONG (02597) announced that the current Hong Kong auditor, Ernst & Young LLP, will resign as the company's auditor. This will take effect from the sixth extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2025, and Ernst & Young will not be reappointed as the company's auditor. The board of directors considered that Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Certified Public Accountants LLP (Deloitte) has been the company's auditor in Mainland China since 2020. Considering the company's past good cooperation with Deloitte and recognition of its professional capabilities, at the recommendation of the audit committee, the board of directors resolved to appoint Deloitte as the company's auditor for the year 2025 in Hong Kong. This appointment will take effect from Ernst & Young's resignation at the sixth extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2025, until the end of the next annual general meeting of shareholders. The board of directors is also authorized to determine the audit fees based on actual business circumstances and relevant regulations and standards. However, the proposal to change auditors must be approved by shareholders at the sixth extraordinary general meeting of shareholders in 2025 before it can be implemented.
