"The Board is delighted to appoint Ms. Yang as Super Hi’s new CEO," said Ms. Shu Ping, Chairlady and non-executive director of Super Hi. "Her proven track record, including navigating Haidilao International Holding Ltd.

During her time serving in various executive roles at Haidilao International, Ms. Yang has built up exceptional capabilities and deep industry insights, and has demonstrated an unmatched tenacity and pioneering spirit. For instance, her implementation of data-based, strategically-minded operational adjustments at Haidilao International helped establish a foundation for its sustainable future growth, and attracted significant praise. Furthermore, Ms. Yang led the overseas expansion of the Haidilao brand, successfully establishing a presence in Singapore and the United States in 2012 and 2013, respectively, laying the foundation for the group's current operations in the international market. We are confident that Ms. Yang will further strengthen our operations and drive our strategic growth initiatives in today’s dynamic market."

Ms. Yang demonstrates a commitment to excellence in the catering industry. Ms. Yang joined Haidilao in 1995 as a waitress and served as a manager at Sichuan Haidilao Catering Co., Ltd ("Sichuan Haidilao") from June 1997 to March 2001.

Ms. Yang’s appointment follows the resignation of Mr. Li Yu as Chief Executive Officer of Super Hi, effective July 1, 2024.
