#### PROPOSAL 10
<div align='center'>APPROVAL OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRMS AND AUDITORS FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025</div>

#### Description of the Proposal
The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firms and auditors retained to audit our consolidated financial statements, subject to shareholder approval in accordance with the HK Listing Rules. The Audit Committee has appointed KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm in the United States, and KPMG, a public interest entity auditor registered in accordance with the Accounting and Financial Reporting Council Ordinance in Hong Kong, as our independent registered public accounting firms and auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. KPMG LLP has been the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and auditor since 2022.

Upon the recommendation of the Audit Committee, the Board of Directors recommends shareholder approval of the appointment of KPMG LLP and KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firms and auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025. The Board of Directors continues to believe that the appointment of KPMG LLP and KPMG to serve as our independent registered public accounting firms and auditors is in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. KPMG LLP will be responsible for auditing our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025 filed with the SEC and the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025 in accordance with the Exchange Act, and KPMG will be responsible for auditing our consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2025 filed in the annual report to be prepared in accordance with the HK Listing Rules.

If this proposal is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Board of Directors will reconsider its appointment of KPMG LLP and KPMG. If approved in accordance with Hong Kong Stock Exchange requirements and the HK Listing Rules, KPMG LLP and KPMG will serve as the Company’s independent auditors until the next annual general meeting, unless removed or subsequently changed by shareholders at a general meeting.

We expect a representative from each of KPM
