On September 21, 2026, the Board elected Ms. Chao Liu to become a new independent director of the Board, effective immediately, to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Li's resignation. In connection with the election of Ms. Liu, the Board now consists of five members, composed of a majority of independent directors under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules.
Ms. Chao Liu, age 44, brings more than a decade of leadership experience across investment, real estate and non-profit organizations. Ms. Liu has served as President of Prosperity Alliance Singapore, an affiliate of the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) since 2025, as Chief Executive Officer of The HLW Investment (Singapore) since 2023, and as Chief Executive Officer of The HLW Investment USA since 2013, where Ms. Liu is responsible for real estate investment and property management. Ms. Liu founded the Brotherhood Cup Foundation USA in November 2021 and served as founder of the Brotherhood Cup (China), a charity organization, from 2008 to 2019. Ms. Liu received a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism and Hospitality Management from the University of Surrey in the United Kingdom and a Master’s degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Sydney in Australia.
The Board has determined that Ms. Liu is independent under the corporate governance requirements of Nasdaq, the Company’s Corporate Governance Principles, Rule 10A-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and Rule 10C-1 of the Exchange Act. The Board has also determined that Ms. Liu qualifies as a “Non-Employee Director” under Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act.

Ms. Liu’s compensation will be consistent with that of other non-employee directors as previously disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 30, 2026. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Liu and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Liu was selected as a director and there are no related party transactions between the Company and Ms. Liu that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
