HKEX Chairman, Carlson Tong, said: “We warmly welcome the election of Mr Peter Brien as a director of HKEX. Mr Brien’s strong capital markets experience, during the course of his distinguished legal career and as chairman of the Listing Committee, will be invaluable in guiding HKEX’s strategic development. Together with the appointment of Ms Ding Chen, these new directors will add to the diversity and calibre of the HKEX Board.”
“On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Mr Apurv Bagri for his nine years of dedicated service to HKEX. As a director, Mr Bagri’s many contributions have helped enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong’s financial markets and cemented its status as a premier fundraising centre. We look forward to continue benefiting from his wise counsel as an advisor to HKEX.”
Mr Tong added: “We would also like to once again thank Ms Nisa Leung for her contributions to HKEX, and wish her the very best in her future endeavours.”
