CORPORATE GOVERNANCE Code of Corporate Governance Practices The Directors recognise the importance of incorporating elements of good corporate governance in the management structures and internal control procedures of the Group so as to achieve effective accountability and to maximise the shareholders’ benefits. As of 30 June 2009, the Company complied with all the principles and code provisions and most of the recommended best practices of the Code on Corporate Governance Practices (“Corporate Governance Code”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (“Listing Rule”). With effect from 21 July 2009, Mr. Ye Liaoning had ceased to act as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Mr. Wang Wenjian, as the existing Chairman of the Company, had been re-designated as Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company. The Directors note that the above re-designation deviates from the Corporate Governance Code, which suggests that the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer should be separated and should not be performed by the same individual. In this regard, the Company will comply with the disclosure requirements under Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules. Whilst the Directors fully recognize the importance of the division of responsibilities between the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, the Board, after thorough considerations, is of the opinion that given the expertise and experience of Mr. Wang Wenjian, the re-designations and reallocation of responsibilities could assist to alleviate the impacts of the current economic conditions on the developments of the Company and better apply the Group’s strategy consistently. As of 30 June 2009, the audit committee, the remuneration committee, the nomination committee and the strategy and development committee have been established with their respective terms of reference in force.
