VOTING SECURITIES
Only holders of our common shares (the “Shares”) at the close of business on October 10, 2023 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the meeting. On the record date, the Company had 199,145,041 common shares outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. For purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting, each Share is entitled to one vote upon all matters to be acted upon at the meeting.
No less than one-third (1/3) of the outstanding Shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting represented in person or by proxy will constitute a quorum throughout the meeting. Each of the proposals relating to the election of directors, and the approval of the appointment of independent certified public accountants are to be approved by the affirmative vote of a simple majority of the votes cast in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote at the meeting.
Only Shares that are voted are taken into account in determining the proportion of votes cast for the election of directors. Any Shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will therefore only impact the election of directors to the extent that the failure to vote for any individual may result in another individual’s receiving a larger proportion of votes cast. Similarly, any Shares not voted (whether by abstention, broker non-vote or otherwise) will only impact the percentage of votes cast for or against the other matters. Except for determining the presence or absence of a quorum for the transaction of business, broker non-votes are not counted for any purpose in determining whether a matter has been approved.
VOTING
If you are a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the annual meeting. We will give you a ballot sheet when you arrive. If you do not wish to vote in person or you will not be attending the annual meeting, you may vote by proxy.

Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight. Xiangdong Wen serves as our Chief Executive Officer and the Chairman of the Board. The Board of Directors believes that Mr. Wen is best situated to serve as Chairman of the Board because he will be the director most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the discussion and execution of strategy. The Board has not designated a lead director. Given the small number of directors comprising the board, the independent directors call and plan their executive sessions collaboratively and, between Board meetings, communicate with management and one another directly. Given the circumstances, the directors believe that formalizing in a lead director functions in which they all participate might detract from rather than enhance performance of their responsibilities as directors. The Board is responsible for the overall supervision of the Company’s risk oversight efforts as they relate to the key business risks facing the organization. Management identifies, assesses, and manages the risks most critical to the Company’s operations on a day-to-day basis. The Board’s role in risk oversight of the Company is consistent with the Company’s leadership structure, with senior management having responsibility for assessing and managing the Company’s risk exposure, and the Board and its Committees providing oversight as necessary in connection with those efforts.
Board Member Attendance at Annual Meetings. Our Board nominees are generally expected to attend our Annual Meetings unless personal circumstances make the Board member or director nominee attendance impracticable or inappropriate.
Shareholder Communications with Directors. We have no formal written policy regarding communication with the Board. Persons wishing to write to the Board or to a specified director or committee of the Board should send correspondence to the Secretary at our main office. Electronic submissions of shareholder correspondence will not be accepted. The Secretary will forward to the directors all communications that, in his judgment, are appropriate for consideration by the directors. Any correspondence received that is addressed generically to the Board will be forwarded to the Chairman of the Board, with a copy will be sent to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.
Interested Transactions. A director may vote, attend a board meeting or sign a document on our behalf with respect to any contract or transaction in which he or she is interested. A director must promptly disclose the interest to all other directors after becoming aware of the fact that he or she is interested in a transaction we have entered into or are to enter into. A general notice or disclosure to the board or otherwise contained in the minutes of a meeting or a written resolution of the board or any committee of the board that a director is a shareholder, director, officer or trustee of any specified firm or company and is to be regarded as interested in any transaction with such firm or company will be sufficient disclosure, and, after such general notice, it will not be necessary to give special notice relating to any particular transaction.
Qualification. A director is not required to hold shares as a qualification to office.
7
All directors hold office until the next annual meeting of shareholders at which their respective class of directors is re-elected and until their successors have been duly elected and qualified. There are no family relationships among our directors or executive officers. Officers are elected by and serve at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employee directors do not receive any compensation for their services. Non-employee directors are entitled to receive $10,000 per year for serving as directors and may receive option grants from our company. In addition, non-employee directors are entitled to receive compensation for their actual travel expenses for each Board of Directors meeting attended. We have entered into independent director agreements with our directors which agreements set forth the terms and provisions of their engagement. None of our officers currently serves, or has served during the last completed fiscal year, on the compensation committee or board of directors of any other entity that has one or more officers serving as a member of our board of directors.
The following sets forth the names and ages of our current executive officers, their respective positions and offices, and their respective principal occupations or brief employment history.
