Resignation of a Board Member

 

On May 24, 2022, Lawrence Eckles resigned from the Board of Directors (the “Board”), member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee and Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of UTime Limited (the “Company”) due to his personal reasons. Mr. Eckles’ decision to resign did not arise or result from any disagreement with the Board or the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

 

Appointment of a Board Member

 

Effective on May 25, 2022, the Board appointed Weiyuan Wang to serve as a director on the Board, member of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee and Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to fill in the vacancy created by Mr. Eckles’ resignation until the Company’s next general meeting called for the election of directors.

 

Mr. Wang has served as a member of the Supervisory Board and Principal of Zhejiang Huyin Fund Management Co., Ltd., a private equity firm, since April 2017, where he supervises board activities and major investment and commercial transactions. Prior to that, Mr. Wang served as the Head of the Bond Insurance Department of People’s Insurance Company of China (SSE: 601319 and SEHK: 1339), where he was in charge of developing insurance products and coordinating different departments on marketing and operations. Mr. Wang obtained his bachelor’s degree in Economy from Hubei University of Technology in 2005.

 

Mr. Wang has no family relationships with any of the executive officers or directors of the Company. There are no arrangements or understandings with major shareholders, customers, suppliers or others, pursuant to which Mr. Wang was selected as a director.

 

On May 27, 2022, the Company entered into a Director Offer Letter with Mr. Wang pursuant to which Mr. Wang shall receive an annual compensation of $50,000. Pursuant to director offer letters, all or a portion of such fees may, in the sole discretion of the Board of Directors of the Company or a designated committee thereof, be paid in equity in lieu of cash; provided, that any such equity payments shall be made from the Company’s equity incentive plan. The Company agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to purchase an officers and directors insurance policy and include Mr. Wang as an insured thereunder. The Company also agreed to indemnify and hold Mr. Wang harmless from and against certain expenses incurred in connection with any proceeding in connection with his performance of his duties as a director. The Director Offer Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to its complete text, which is filed hereto as Exhibits 99.1.
