Board Reconstitution
Following the removals and the recent appointments of Mr. Lau Yun Chau and Mr. Lau Chun (effective June 10, 2026), the Board now consists of six directors, maintaining a majority of independent directors.

Analysis
Wellchange Holdings removed two independent directors, Mr. Wang Yiyun and Mr. Liu Jun, effective June 9, 2026. Mr. Wang Yiyun chaired the Compensation Committee and served on the Audit and Nominating committees, while Mr. Liu Jun was a member of all three. This swift removal of key independent oversight, without a stated reason, raises significant governance concerns for a micro-cap company. The timing, just after the appointment of two new independent directors on June 10, suggests a rapid and potentially contentious board shake-up, which could impact investor confidence.
