The Board will refer such resignations to the Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee (the " Committee") for consideration on whether or not to accept the resignations submitted by Dr. Shi. In accordance with the Policy, the Board shall accept such resignation unless the Committee determines that there are exceptional circumstances relating to the composition of the Board or the voting results that should delay the acceptance of such resignation or justify rejecting such resignation. The Board will issue a news release with its decision.
At the Meeting, the unallocated options, rights or other entitlements issuable under Eastplats' Stock Option Plan have been authorized for three further years and Davidson & Company LLP was also re-appointed as auditors of Eastplats.
