“On behalf of our Board, we would like to sincerely thank Mr. Tang for his remarkable eight years of services as a member of TME’s Board. Since joining the Board in 2014, Mr. Tang has consistently made invaluable contributions to TME’s strategic direction and development.

Mr. Liang Tang commented, “It has been my greatest pleasure to serve on TME’s Board, and I feel immense pride in the Company’s accomplishments, especially its steadfast leadership in shaping China’s music industry. I will continue to assist TME and provide strategic advice as it grows and builds on its success.”

Tencent also announced several additions and changes to the board, including Ms. Jeanette Kim Yum Chan, who joins as an independent director, and that existing board member Ms. Edith Manling Ngan has been named to the board’s compensation committee.
