Zhihu Inc. Updates Nomination Committee Charter, Elevates Governance Standards

Bulletin Express08-26

Zhihu Inc. has amended and restated the Charter of its Nomination Committee, with the changes taking effect on 26 August 2026.

The updated charter strengthens the committee’s mandate in five core areas: (1) defining criteria and processes for identifying director candidates; (2) reviewing board composition and recommending structural adjustments; (3) overseeing the formation and operation of board committees; (4) conducting annual self-evaluations; and (5) retaining external advisers when necessary.

Key structural enhancements include: • A minimum of two directors on the Committee, with a majority being independent under New York Stock Exchange rules and Hong Kong Listing Rules. • At least one director of a different gender on the Committee. • The chairperson must be an independent non-executive director.

Operationally, the Committee must meet at least once a year, maintain minutes, and report regularly to the Board. It also gains explicit authority to recommend board size adjustments, manage succession planning for the chair and CEO, and ensure independent director compliance.

The amended charter aligns Zhihu Inc.’s governance framework with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the Hong Kong Corporate Governance Code, and Rules 8A.27–8A.28 of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, reinforcing the company’s commitment to transparent and diversified board oversight.
