Set forth below is the biographical information of Mr. Tan:

 

Mr. Tan Wan Hong, age 62, started his career with KPMG Kuala Lumpur in 1981 and was subsequently promoted to be the Resident Manager of the Penang Office. In 1983, Mr. Tan joined Island & Peninsular as Financial Controller before leaving for Sime Darby, Malaysia’s largest Asian-based conglomerate in 1986. He also worked at Sime Darby, holding various senior positions over a span of 18 years until his departure in 2004 following a reorganization of such company. In 2007, Mr. Tan joined Hong Leong Asia, Singapore for a specific assignment in China, which he completed in 2009. After that, he became Head of Investor Relations with 361 Degrees International, a mainland China sportswear group listed on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong and spent six years as the spokesman of such company. Mr. Tan trained with Grant Thornton in Liverpool, UK and was admitted as an Associate of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (England and Wales) in 1980.

On July 25, 2016, Moxian (Hong Kong) Limited, an indirectly wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an agreement with Mr. Tan Wan Hong to serve in the role of Chief Financial Officer. Pursuant to the terms of such employment agreement, Mr. Tan’s monthly base salary is CNY 35,000 (USD 5,279) for the probation period, which is the initial three months from the date of the employment agreement, and thereafter, CNY 40,000 (USD 6,033).
