Metallurgical Corporation of China Ltd. Class H ( (HK:1618) ) just unveiled an announcement.

Metallurgical Corporation of China Ltd. announced that independent non-executive director Mr. Ng, Kar Ling Johnny has tendered his resignation after serving six consecutive years, in line with regulatory limits and the company’s articles. His departure will also see him step down as chairman of the Audit Committee and as a member of the Sustainable Development Committee, though he will remain in all roles until a successor is elected.

Because Mr. Ng’s exit would reduce the proportion of independent directors below one-third and affect compliance of certain board committees, his resignation will only take effect after shareholders elect a new independent non-executive director within 60 days. The company emphasized that Mr. Ng has no disagreements with the board or issues requiring shareholder attention, and expressed gratitude for his service, signaling a planned governance transition rather than a sign of internal conflict.
