Mr. Min Chen commented, "In the past few years, I have witnessed tremendous progress at Zhongpin, and I have truly enjoyed being a member of the board. I am now considering working for an international company in the manufacturing sector, which position requires that I should not hold any directorships in any publicly-listed companies. It is with deep regret that I have decided not to stand for re-election when my current term expires on June 15, 2011."
Mr. Xianfu Zhu, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zhongpin, said, "It is with great reluctance that we accept Min Chen's decision to leave our board. We thank Mr. Chen for his service and contributions and wish him well and great success in his exciting new position. We understand his situation, and we will truly miss his wise counsel and advice, his logical deliberations, and his friendship."
Zhongpin has started the search for a new independent director.
