CHANGE IN AUDITOR

This announcement is made by the board (the "Board") of directors (the "Directors") of Stella International Holdings Limited (the "Company") pursuant to Rule 13.51(4) of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

As the Company and Deloitte could not reach a consensus on the audit fee for the financial year ending 31 December 2018, Deloitte has resigned as the auditor of the Company with effect from 19 November 2018.

Concurrently, for the purpose of maintaining good corporate governance practice, the Board also considers that the auditor of the Company should be rotated after an appropriate period of time. Deloitte has been serving as the auditor of the Company since its listing on the Main Board of The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited in 2007. After due consideration, and with the recommendation of the audit committee of the Board (the "Audit Committee"), the Board has resolved that the auditor of the Company should be changed.

The Company has received a confirmation letter dated 19 November 2018 from Deloitte that there are no matters connected with its resignation which need to be brought to the attention of the shareholders of the Company (the "Shareholders") or creditors of the Company.

In accordance with the articles of association of the Company and with the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board has appointed Ernst & Young as the Company's auditor with effect from 19 November 2018 to fill the casual vacancy following the resignation of Deloitte and to hold office until the conclusion of the next annual general meeting of the Company.

* For identification purpose only

The Board has confirmed that there are no other matters in relation to the change in auditor that need to be brought to the attention of the Shareholders. The Board would like to take this opportunity to express its sincere gratitude to Deloitte for their professional services rendered to the Company in the past years.
