Pony AI Inc. (Pony AI) has appointed Chief Financial Officer Dr. Haojun Wang as Joint Company Secretary with effect from 10 June 2026. Existing company secretary Mr. Ng Tung Ching Raphael will continue in his role, forming a dual-secretary structure aimed at strengthening corporate governance and regulatory compliance.
\n\nHKEX Waiver Details The Hong Kong Stock Exchange granted Pony AI a three-year waiver from strict compliance with Listing Rules 3.28 and 8.17, which require a company secretary to hold specified professional qualifications or relevant experience. The waiver runs for three years from Dr. Wang’s appointment and is conditional on: 1. Mr. Ng assisting Dr. Wang throughout the waiver period. 2. Revocation of the waiver if the company commits material breaches of the Listing Rules.
Prior to the waiver’s expiration, Pony AI must demonstrate that Dr. Wang has acquired sufficient experience to discharge company-secretary duties independently, eliminating the need for further waivers.
