On December 20, 2019, Renhua Zheng notified HF Foods Group Inc. (the “Company”), that he was resigning his position as Director of the Company, effective immediately.
On December 23, 2019, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Hong Wang to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation of Mr. Zheng. Dr. Wang will serve until the next annual election of directors and until his successor is elected and qualified. Dr. Wang was appointed to serve as a member of the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, the Nominations Committee, and the Special Transactions Review Committee until his successor is appointed.
Hong Wang, 60, was previously a member of the Board of Directors of the Company from August 22, 2018, through November 1, 2019. Dr. Wang has served as a Professor of Management Information Systems at North Carolina A&T State University since 2005 and a Visiting Professor at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics in China since June, 2012, Dalian Maritime University in China since June 2012, and Henan Polytechnic University in China since June 2015. Dr. Wang has over 30 years of university teaching experience and has taught Management Sciences, Operations Research, Optimization, Business Environment, Management Concepts, Strategic Management, Engineering Economy, in addition to various Information Systems courses at both graduate and undergraduate levels. Dr. Wang is active in professional and community services. He has served in multiple cities in the US for several terms as president of local Chinese Associations, on various boards, as a principal of Chinese schools, as session chair of academic conferences, and as a journal referee. He also helped several Chinese universities to establish international programs in collaboration with US universities. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. in Management Information Systems/Decision Sciences from Ohio State University. We believe Dr. Wang’s qualifications to sit on our board of directors include his knowledge of management, operations, optimization, business environment, and economic engineering, and his prior effective service as a member of our board.
