KC · Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited

This filing reflects a routine but operationally significant corporate governance transition at Kingsoft Cloud Holdings Limited. The resignation of Ms. So Ka Man — an external corporate services provider — and the dual appointment of Mr. Tian Bo (an internal executive) and Ms. Chan Hiu Lam (a qualified external professional) signal a strategic shift toward strengthening in-house governance oversight while maintaining regulatory compliance. Mr. Tian’s appointment as joint company secretary is notable because it required a formal three-year waiver from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange under Rules 3.28 and 8.17, underscoring his lack of formal corporate secretarial qualifications despite extensive capital markets experience and deep familiarity with the company’s operations. The waiver is explicitly conditioned on Ms. Chan’s continuous support and subject to revocation upon material Listing Rules breaches, introducing a modest governance dependency risk over the waiver period. Investors should monitor whether Mr. Tian attains the requisite experience by the end of the waiver term, as the Board must then seek Stock Exchange confirmation that he can serve independently — a milestone critical to long-term governance stability. No compensation terms, severance, or financial implications are disclosed.
