Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On July 1, 2019, Yilei Shao resigned as a director of Planet Green Holdings Corp. (the “Company”). Ms. Shao’s resignation was for personal reasons and was not due to any disagreement with the Company.

On July 1, 2019, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) appointed King Fai Leung to serve as a member of the Board and a member of each of the three independent committees of the Board (i.e., the audit committee, compensation committee and nominating and corporate governance committee) and as chairman of the audit committee of the Board, effective immediately.

Mr. Leung, age 47, has over 20 years’ experience in finance and accounting. He has been the executive director of Maxima Energy Limited, an energy company in Hong Kong, since December 2018. Mr. Leung has also served as an independent director since November 2017 and was re-designated in March 2019 as an executive director and Chief Financial Officer of Chineseinvestors.com, Inc., a financial information website for Chinese-speaking investors (OTCQB: CIIX). He has also served as an independent director, chairman of the audit committee and a member of the remuneration and nomination committee of Daisho Microline Holdings Ltd., a Hong Kong-based investment holding company principally engaged in the manufacture and sales of printed circuit boards (HKG: 0567), since June 2015. In addition, Mr. Leung served as directors in various public companies, including Kirin Group Holdings Limited, an investment holding company principally engaged in the financial related business (HKG: 8109), Biostar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a pharmaceutical and medical nutrient products company (OTC Pink: BSPM), and Hao Wen Holdings Limited, an investment holding company principally engaged in the manufacture and trading of biomass fuel in China (HKG: 8019). Mr. Leung earned his Bachelor of Commerce in Accounting and Finance from Deakin University in Victoria, Australia. He is a Certified Public Account in both Hong Kong and Australia. Mr. Leung is well-qualified to serve as a director due to his extensive experience and expertise in finance and accounting. The Board has determined that Mr. Leung qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

There are no family relationships between Mr. Leung and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the Company to become an executive officer of the Company. There are no transactions between the Company and Mr. Leung that are subject to disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
