Recently, the SZSE Board of Directors has decided to hold the 2019 Members' General Meeting by off-site in late April. Relevant preparations are progressing in an orderly manner. This is an important measure for SZSE to implement the regular mechanism for the convening of the SZSE Members' General Meeting. Besides, it is of great significance to promote members' exercise of their statutory rights, participation in exchange management, and the formation of a joint force for development, so as to better promote the construction of the SZSE market.

In 2018, SZSE held the first Members' General Meeting by off-site means and the voting was done via the internet to save market costs and improve efficiency, which was widely and highly recognized by the members. In order to properly hold the 2019 Members' General Meeting in a regular manner, SZSE has fully communicated with member directors and member supervisors on the form and content of the Meeting. All parties agreed that the 2019 Meeting would be held off-site. The SZSE Board of Directors decided to adopt members' suggestion, reviewed and approved relevant proposals, and initiated preparations for the Meeting.

In the past year, SZSE has joined hands with members to earnestly implement relevant arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on economic and financial work, implement the resolutions of the Members' General Meeting, and actively serve the overall economic and social development of the country. We have also focused on preventing risks, strengthening weaknesses, promoting development and managing in a strict manner, so as to continuously improve the ability to serve the real economy. Positive results have been achieved in all aspects of market construction. In 2019, SZSE will continue to focus on the three core tasks of financial work, earnestly implement CSRC's requirements of "Four Musts" and "One Joint Force", continuously improve the basic systems, earnestly perform its supervisory duties, continuously optimize market functions, increase direct financing ratio, and comprehensively match and serve national strategies. Besides, we will precisely and effectively process risks in key areas, give full play to the joint force of members, jointly promote our work to a new level, so as to help build a standardized, transparent, open, dynamic and resilient capital market.
