Sterling Group Directors Resign, Triggering Temporary Non-Compliance With HKEX Governance Rules

Sterling Group Holdings Limited ( (HK:1825) ) has issued an announcement.

Sterling Group Holdings Limited has announced the resignation of executive director Siu Yik Ming, who will step down from the board to focus on personal endeavours while remaining a director of certain subsidiaries. The company also reported that independent non-executive director Gao Yuan Yuan has resigned from the board and from her roles as chair of the remuneration committee and member of both the audit and nomination committees, likewise to pursue personal endeavours, with both departing directors and the board indicating there is no disagreement or other matters requiring shareholder attention.

Following Ms. Gao’s departure, Sterling Group has fallen below the Hong Kong Listing Rules’ minimum requirement for independent non-executive directors and the mandated composition of its audit, remuneration and nomination committees, resulting in a temporary period of non-compliance. The company has said it will use its best efforts to identify suitable candidates to fill the independent non-executive and committee vacancies within three months, a move that will be closely watched by investors as the board seeks to restore full compliance with corporate governance standards and maintain regulatory confidence.

The most recent analyst rating on (HK:1825) stock is a Hold with a HK$0.11 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Sterling Group Holdings Limited stock, see the HK:1825 Stock Forecast page.
