Anhui Expressway Co., Ltd. (00995) has announced it has received a written resignation from Mr. Jianping Zhang. Due to Mr. Zhang approaching the completion of a six-year consecutive term as an independent non-executive director on August 16, 2026, and in accordance with the "Administrative Measures for Independent Directors of Listed Companies" and other relevant regulations, Mr. Zhang has applied to resign from his positions as independent non-executive director of the company's tenth board of directors, chairman of the board's human resources and remuneration committee, and member of the strategic development and investment committee and audit committee.

Following the resignation's effective date, Mr. Zhang will no longer hold any position within the company. Because his resignation would cause the proportion of independent non-executive directors on the board to fall below one-third and would affect the composition of certain board committees, thereby failing to meet regulatory requirements and the company's articles of association, Mr. Zhang will continue to fulfill his duties as an independent non-executive director and member of board committees. This ensures the sustained and effective operation of the board and its committees. Mr. Zhang's resignation will only take effect after the company's shareholders' general meeting elects a new independent non-executive director.
