Bulletin Express07-15

China Evergrande New Energy Vehicle Group Limited (Evergrande NEV) disclosed extensive governance changes effective 15 July 2026, reshaping its board and committee structure while highlighting continued non-compliance with several Hong Kong Listing Rules and an ongoing share-trading suspension.

Key management moves 1. Board committees – Independent non-executive director Xie Wu has been redesignated as chairman of the Audit, Nomination, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committees. Vincent Gar-Gene Leung becomes a member of the Audit, Remuneration and Corporate Governance Committees. 2. New executive director – Ma Kin Ling, aged 44, joins the board as an executive director on a one-year service agreement at a nominal remuneration of HKD 1 per annum. Ma is currently CFO and company secretary of Ciprun Technology Holdings and holds multiple Hong Kong listed-company directorships. 3. Director exits – Executive director Choi Wai Hong Clifford and independent non-executive director Vincent Gar-Gene Leung have resigned, citing personal and business commitments. 4. Company secretary – Fong Kar Chun Jimmy has resigned as company secretary and ceased to be an authorised representative.

Post-change board structure • Executive director: Ma Kin Ling • Independent non-executive director: Xie Wu

Compliance status While the Nomination Committee now meets Rule 3.27A requirements, Evergrande NEV remains non-compliant with: • Rule 3.10(1) – fewer than three independent non-executive directors. • Rule 3.10(2) & 3.21 – absence of an INED with requisite accounting or financial expertise and an Audit Committee short of three members. • Rule 13.92 – lack of gender diversity on the board. • Rule 3.28 – vacancy in the company secretary role. • Rule 3.05 – fewer than two authorised representatives.

The company is seeking suitable candidates to fill these vacancies.
