As a result, the board of directors of the Company appointed Ms. Tracy Chui-Kam Ng as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer, effective June 1, 2021.

In connection with appointment, the Company and Ms. Ng entered into an employment agreement, dated June 1, 2021 (the “Employment Agreement”), pursuant to which Ms. Ng will receive a monthly salary of HKD 80,000 (approximately $10,310) for her services as Chief Financial Officer. Her term of employment, which begins June 1, 2021, is for one year, with the first three months being her probationary period. Her employment may be terminated at any time during her probationary period and thereafter upon one month’s written notice. Ms. Ng may terminate her employment at any time for any reason or no reason upon three month’s advance written notice.

Ms. Ng, age 41, has years of experience in the accounting area. Since September 2014, Ms. Ng has been working at Hong Kong Takung Art Company Limited and was promoted to be Accounting Manager in April 2016.
