The board of directors of China CITIC Bank Corporation Limited has recently received the resignation of Mr. Qian Jun, the independent non-executive director of the Bank. Due to the fact that Mr. Qian Jun has served his six years' term of office as an independent non-executive director of the Bank, he resigned from his positions as an independent non-executive director of the Bank, the chairman and member of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the board of directors, a member of the Strategic and Sustainable Development Committee of the board of directors, a member of the Audit and Related Party Transactions Control Committee of the board of directors and a member of the Risk Management Committee of the board of directors. As the resignation of Mr. Qian Jun would cause the number of independent non-executive directors in the board of directors of the Bank become less than one-third of the total number of the directors of the Bank, the resignation of Mr. Qian Jun will take effect after the new independent non-executive director of the Bank, who is to be elected by the shareholders general meeting of the Bank and approved of his or her qualification to act as independent non-executive director of the Bank by the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, takes office.

Before that, Mr. Qian Jun will continue to perform his relevant duties as independent non-executive director and the chairman or member of the special committees of the board of directors of the Bank in accordance with laws, regulations, regulatory provisions and the Articles of Association of the Bank.
