Yang Wenhua Promoted to Vice President of Everbright Bank, Moving from Compliance to Management Team

```

China Everbright Bank’s management team has gained another member.

On June 5, China Everbright Bank announced that the National Financial Regulatory Administration had approved Yang Wenhua’s qualifications for the positions of Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer as of June 2. With regulatory approval in place, Yang Wenhua has officially joined the senior management of China Everbright Bank.

After taking up his new role, Yang Wenhua will hold both the positions of Vice President and Chief Compliance Officer.

This means that while supplementing its management team, China Everbright Bank has also further strengthened the coordination between its compliance line and management operations.

Yang Wenhua holds a master's degree in economics and has long been engaged in bank legal compliance and risk management. Before joining China Everbright Bank, he worked at institutions such as CITIC Bank, accumulating relatively rich experience in commercial bank management.

After joining China Everbright Bank, Yang Wenhua held several legal and compliance-related positions, focusing his work on legal affairs, risk control, and compliance management.

Before becoming Vice President, he already served as Chief Compliance Officer and concurrently as General Manager of the Legal and Compliance Department, making him one of the key participants in building the bank’s risk management and compliance systems.

From his resume, Yang Wenhua is not a traditional business executive who rose from corporate finance, retail finance, or capital operations, but instead is a manager with a distinct legal and compliance background.

This arrangement also echoes the recent development trends in the banking industry's executive teams.

In the past, Vice Presidents of major commercial banks mostly came from corporate business, retail business, or financial markets, mainly undertaking business development and operational management responsibilities. As regulatory requirements have become more detailed and the banking environment has changed, the importance of risk management, legal compliance, audit, and internal controls—key backend lines—has consistently increased, and more managers with relevant backgrounds are entering the executive team.

Especially as financial supervision is continuously strengthened, compliance management is gradually extending from traditional post-event supervision to the front end of business decision-making. How to balance business development, risk control, and regulatory requirements has become an important issue for commercial bank management.

In recent years, China Everbright Bank has continuously improved its comprehensive risk management system. While strengthening credit and market risk management, it is also advancing in consumer protection, anti-money laundering, data governance, and internal controls. With ongoing digital transformation, the importance of data security, IT risk, and cross-border business compliance continues to grow, putting new demands on the management team’s overall governance capabilities.

For China Everbright Bank, this executive adjustment is a normal talent supplementation. With Yang Wenhua’s appointment, the professional composition of the management team is further enriched, adding new strength to risk management and compliance governance.

From an industry perspective, managers with backgrounds in law, risk, and compliance are gaining increasing recognition. Against the backdrop of ever-improving regulations and a constantly evolving banking environment, compliance capability has become an important part of large commercial bank governance systems.

Yang Wenhua’s appointment as Vice President is not only a new step in his personal career, but also reflects the expansion of commercial banks' executive selection from traditional business lines to the fields of risk and compliance.
