An announcement from Billion Industrial Holdings Ltd. ( (HK:2299) ) is now available.

Billion Industrial Holdings announced the passing of independent non-executive director Shih Chun Pi, who also served on its audit and remuneration committees since 2018, and expressed gratitude for his professional contributions and condolences to his family. His death leaves the board and key committees temporarily out of compliance with Hong Kong Listing Rules on the required number and composition of independent non-executive directors, but the company plans to appoint suitable replacements within the prescribed three-month period and says normal operations will not be affected.

The loss of an experienced independent director and committee member creates a short-term governance gap for Billion Industrial, highlighting the importance of board independence and proper committee structures under Hong Kong’s regulatory regime. The company’s commitment to restore full compliance swiftly is aimed at reassuring investors and other stakeholders that oversight standards and regulatory obligations will be maintained despite the unexpected vacancy.
