VACANCY OF AUDITORS

As the resolution numbered 4 regarding the reappointment of Ernst & Young (''EY'') as auditors of the Company for the year ending 31 December 2020 was not passed at the AGM, the office of the Company's auditors becomes vacant with effect from the conclusion of the AGM. The Company understands that the resolution numbered 4 was not passed, primarily due to the controlling shareholder of the Company (the ''Controlling Shareholder'') considered that EY has been in office for 9 years since its appointment in 2011, the Controlling Shareholder is of the view that the rotation of auditor could demonstrate a high level of corporate governance practice. The Board and the audit committee of the Company also confirmed that there are no disagreements between the Company and EY, and there
