Mr. Roussel, aged 58, has more than 30 years of experience in global procurement and supply chain management in the
consumer goods industry, and he has worked in multiple countries across Asia and Europe, including France, the United
Kingdom and Italy. Mr. Roussel has held positions such as the International Sourcing Director for Carrefour, a French
company and pioneer in the food retail business over the world during the early 1990s, and later as the Chief Executive
Officer of International Sourcing and Inbound Logistics for Tesco plc. Additionally, he also served as the Vice
Chairman, Asia-Pacific, and Executive Vice-President of Global Sourcing and Production for the leading American fashion
and apparel brand, Gap Inc. As a result of his professional experience, Mr. Roussel has acquired a deep knowledge of
the consumer goods, food, beverage and fashion industries, as well as related supply chain management. Furthermore, Mr.

career. Presently, he holds the position of Managing Director at the boutique consulting firm, Big Ideas Ltd.
Upon Mr. Roussel's appointment as an Independent Non-Executive Director, the Group believes that he will bring his
professional knowledge and experience in brand management to the Board, thereby promoting better corporate governance
and strategic business planning. Leveraging on the extensive business connections and product sourcing experience that
Mr. Roussel has accumulated over the years of working in Europe, the United States and Asia, combined with our
well-established logistics network around the world, it is expected the existing business resources can be integrated
and optimised to make greater impacts, hence enabling the Group to strive for more cooperation both online and offline
with new overseas retail, fashion apparel and luxury brands in the future. The Group's position as a high-end logistics
service provider can also be further solidified with the expansion of the client base in the retail segment and greater
synergies formed.

to the Board of Directors, and we look forward to his contribution towards our objective of becoming a leading global
provider of integrated logistics services. The appointment of Mr. Roussel signifies a more diverse Board for the Group,
reflecting our commitment to promoting excellent corporate governance. As we firmly believe that 'A business cannot be
managed passively and left to fate', with Mr. Roussel's extensive experience and vast network in the retail industry,
we will actively improve the internal management, enhance our operational efficiency, and further strengthen the
Group's clientele. We are confident that we can propel CN Logistics to even greater achievements."
