3. On March 7, 2022, the company received the statement on matters related to the letter of concern issued by shuosheng technology to further explain the issues related to the interim proposal in the letter of concern. Among them, shuosheng technology further explained the preconditions for the effectiveness of the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6 in the letter of interim proposal:
“This general meeting of shareholders needs to consider the proposal to remove directors first, and there is uncertainty about whether these proposals can be considered and passed, which leads to uncertainty about the number of vacant seats of the company’s directors. Therefore, in order to ensure the compliance of the interim proposal, the rationality of the setting and the clarity of the voting results, shuosheng technology sets effective preconditions for the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6 respectively Pieces. The details are as follows:
(1) Reasons for setting effective conditions for voting results of proposal 5
According to article 2.1.15 of guideline 2, a listed company shall implement a cumulative voting system during the election of directors and supervisors, except for the election of a director or supervisor. In view of the proposed election of 6 directors and more than 2 directors in proposal 5, cumulative voting shall be implemented; The cumulative voting system shall be implemented, and the number of directors to be elected under the five proposals shall not exceed the number of directors to be elected (the number of vacant directors on the board of directors of the company). In order to ensure the certainty of the number of directors to be elected, the voting result of proposal 5 takes effect on the premise that the proposal on the removal of sun Yuqin as a director and the four removal proposals from proposal 1 to proposal 4 under the interim proposal letter (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “five removal proposals”) have been considered and passed. That is, if all the five directors’ removal proposals are considered and passed, there will be 6 vacant non independent director seats (including 1 vacant director seat in the company), and the number of optional directors is 6; In proposal 5, a total of 6 directors are nominated and elected, which does not exceed the number of optional directors and is operable.
(2) Proposal 6 reasons for setting effective conditions for voting results
According to article 2.1.15 of guideline 2, a listed company shall implement a cumulative voting system during the election of directors and supervisors, except for the election of a director or supervisor. Proposal 6 only nominates one non independent director and does not implement the cumulative voting system. If any proposal (including five proposals for the election of non independent directors) is not passed, the result of the removal shall be taken as the result of avoiding the conflict with the voting of five proposals for the election of non independent directors. That is, if the five proposals to remove directors are reviewed and passed at the shareholders’ meeting, the voting results of proposal 5 will take effect, the voting results of proposal 6 will not take effect, and there will be no conflict between the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6; If any or all of the five proposals for the removal of directors have been considered but not adopted, and there are more than one (including the number) and less than five (including the number) non independent directors vacant on the 5th board of directors of the company, the voting results of proposal 5 will not take effect, and the voting results of proposal 6 will take effect. In proposal 6, a total of one director shall be nominated and elected, and the number of directors to be elected shall not exceed the number of optional directors.
Based on the above, the reason why proposal 5 and proposal 6 in the interim proposal letter set the effective premise of the voting results is that the shareholders’ meeting needs to consider the proposal to remove directors first, and there is uncertainty about whether these proposals can be considered and passed, resulting in uncertainty about the number of vacant seats of directors of the company; The preconditions for the effectiveness of the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6 are clear, specific and fully based, and there is no possibility that the two proposals will take effect at the same time, and there is no conflict between the voting results of the two proposals. “
2、 Special opinions
As mentioned above, there are preconditions for the effectiveness of the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6 in the interim proposal letter, mainly because the shareholders’ meeting needs to consider the proposal to remove directors first, and there is uncertainty about whether these proposals can be considered and passed, resulting in uncertainty about the number of vacant seats of directors of the company; The preconditions for the effectiveness of the voting results of proposal 5 and proposal 6 are clear, specific and fully based, and there is no possibility that the two proposals will take effect at the same time, and there is no conflict between the voting results of the two proposals; The board of supervisors of the company has made special tips on the relationship between the proposals in the announcement on adding interim proposals to the first extraordinary general meeting in 2022 and supplementary notice on convening the first extraordinary general meeting in 2022 (Announcement No.: 2022033); Proposal 5 and proposal 6 are to ensure the smooth operation of the company’s board of directors and restore the order of corporate governance, and will not have a significant adverse impact on the interests of the company and minority shareholders.
