Mr. Jun Li received his master’s degree in mechatronic engineering in 2004 and his doctor’s degree in vehicle engineering in 2007, both from South China University of Technology.

 

Mr. Xiaoping Chen, the chief executive officer and chairman of the Board, commented, “On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ms. Luo Zou for her services to the Board. At the same time, we are pleased to welcome Mr. Jun Li and believe he will be valuable assets to Viomi as we continue to sustainably grow our business and deliver long-term shareholder value.”

 

Effective on September 25, 2019, Mr. Xiaoping Chen has also resigned as a member of Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) in compliance with NASDAQ requirements for Audit Committee to consist of independent directors only.
