The process of appointing members to the ad hoc creditors committee.

 

The liquidation committee publicly announces the recommendations or self-nominations of candidates for the interim creditors' committee to all creditors.

 

Creditors are self-nominating or being nominated by the liquidation committee. Currently, seven individuals have been recommended, but this number may be adjusted later depending on the circumstances.

 

The liquidation team selects and recommends the best candidates based on the internal evaluation of the creditor's self-recommendation form/recommendation form.

 

The recommended list will be published on the public account for individuals to provide feedback and raise any objections.

 

Translate to standard journalistic English: "The suspect was taken into custody following a high-speed chase through city streets." - The suspect was apprehended after a pursuit at high speeds on urban roads.

 

Regarding the plan for the formation of an ad hoc creditors' committee

 

The ad hoc committee of creditors (hereinafter referred to as "committee members") has recommended a list of candidates and a backup list. In order to avoid situations where committee members approved by creditors' meetings are unable or unwilling to fulfill their duties, act improperly, or commit misconduct (hereinafter referred to as "reasons for removal") which may impact the progress of the liquidation process, the liquidation team, based on experience, has prepared a backup list. If a member from the recommended list is removed for reasons stated, the next member from the backup list will be appointed after the removal procedure is carried out by the creditors' committee.

 

The reasons for expulsion include:

 

Voluntarily resigning from one's position.

 

Failure to fulfill obligations. Not attending creditor meetings or exercising voting rights for two consecutive times.

 

Using their position as a member of the creditors' committee to seek personal gain, obstruct the liquidation process, or disclose confidential information (such as leaking the lowest price of inventory items).

 

The individual's debts were found to be falsely declared, involved in fraudulent litigation, or subject to a lawsuit, or the individual initiated proceedings to confirm debts, all of which may affect their ability to fulfill their responsibilities fairly due to conflicting interests.

 

Due to health, capacity, or time constraints, as well as being detained or other circumstances that make it unsuitable to continue serving as a member of the creditors' committee.

 

Without a valid reason or constructive feedback, the opposition to the proposed motion is purely emotional.

 

Spreading information harmful to the case being settled.

 

Without the approval or involvement of the auditing team, engaging in inappropriate interactions with suppliers or related stakeholders.

 

As a result of intentional or gross negligence, creditors' interests have been harmed.

 

Dismissal procedure: After the occurrence of grounds for dismissal, the temporary creditors' committee chairperson (currently China Bank Dongguan Branch, the largest creditor) will preside over the convening of a temporary creditors' committee meeting to vote for over half approval to complete the dismissal procedure. If the temporary creditors' committee chairperson triggers the dismissal procedure, the liquidation team will propose to the shareholders' meeting to replace the temporary creditors' committee chairperson.

 

Supervision system: In order to ensure that members of the temporary debt committee perform their duties fairly, strict supervision of the members of the temporary debt committee is required. The liquidation team, all creditors, and stakeholders can all supervise the members.

 

Reporting procedure: Once any member of the committee is found to have clues involving grounds for removal, the above-mentioned personnel can report to the liquidation team. The liquidation team will conduct a lawful investigation and process according to the procedures. If the reported member is found to be true, the liquidation team will recommend the chairman of the temporary creditors' meeting to exercise the removal procedure at the creditors' committee. If the chairman of the creditors' meeting is reported, the liquidation team will report to the shareholders' meeting to replace the chairman of the creditors' meeting. If the workers' representative is reported, the liquidation team will organize a new election for the workers.

 

Expansion of the standby list and drawing system: In addition to the existing standby list, other creditors can also recommend themselves to join the standby list pool of the ad hoc creditors' committee. After review by the liquidation team, as long as they meet the conditions for removal from the list, they can be included in the pool. Members added to the pool later do not need to go through a selection process. If there are vacancies in the ad hoc creditors' committee, the chairperson of the ad hoc creditors' meeting and the liquidation team will draw from the standby list pool. The drawing process will be recorded with video evidence and the results will be made public.

 

Scope of the creditors' committee's authority.

 

Verify debts.

 

Supervisory Liquidation Team;

 

Selecting and replacing temporary creditors' committee members.

 

Participate in reviewing and voting on the liquidation plan of JSTE Company.

 

Review and vote on important resolutions and matters involving all creditors of JSTE Company.

 

Interim creditors' committee meeting mechanism and voting rules: Routine matters can be voted on in writing, while major matters must be discussed in a live meeting with sufficient exchange of opinions or through a video conference held remotely. Each person has one vote at the meeting, and a resolution is passed if more than 2/3 of all present creditors agree. In the event of a deadlock with a 50%:50% split, the decision will be based on the opinion of the party with the larger total amount of debt.

 

One-third of regular e-cigarette users say they smoke traditional cigarettes more than five times a day, and 40% of them frequently use e-cigarettes. Meanwhile, only 10% of regular smokers say they use e-cigarettes at least five times a day.

German Bundestag Passes Tobacco Tax Hikes: Vape Liquid Duty to Reach €0.44/ml, Heated Tobacco Taxes to Rise and Cigarettes Seen Near €12 a Pack
Germany's Bundestag passed amendments to the Tobacco Tax Act on October 15, 2026, setting out annual excise tax increases from 2027 through 2030 for e-cigarette liquids, heated tobacco, cigarettes and other tobacco products. Under the Finance Committee's amended bill, duty on qualifying e-liquids will rise from €0.32/ml in 2026 to €0.44/ml in 2030, an increase of 37.5%. Heated tobacco will retain its tax calculation based on 80% of the corresponding cigarette excise duty. The average price of a 20-cigarette pack is projected to approach €12 by 2030, with some brands potentially reaching €14. The legislation is projected to generate approximately €11.8 billion in additional tax revenue over four years and remains subject to further legislative procedures.

As Regulators Focus on Nicotine Pouch Child Safety, Safeguard Pursues an External Packaging Route
As regulators pay closer attention to child safety in nicotine pouches, manufacturers face a practical challenge: how to strengthen child-resistant packaging without unnecessarily reworking products, production lines and regulatory submissions already in place. In a written interview with 2Firsts, Chemular detailed Safeguard’s external packaging approach, its customer-specific testing requirements and possible PMTA pathways. The model remains early-stage, but it offers a new way to think about an increasingly important regulatory and manufacturing issue.

Wisconsin Vape Directory One Year On: Retailer Reports Four Store Closures and 70% Staff Cuts
Wisconsin's electronic vaping device directory has been fully enforced for more than a year, and local vape retailers say the reduced range of eligible products has contributed to declining sales, store closures and layoffs. Johnny Vapes owner Ben Hall said he has closed four of seven locations and cut about 70% of his staff. State law bars the sale of vaping devices not listed on the Wisconsin Department of Revenue directory and allows penalties of $1,000 per day for each unlisted device sold or offered for sale. In April 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit allowed enforcement of the law to continue.

PMI Pushes Smoke-Free Business in Latin America as Argentina Lifts Heated Tobacco Ban, Mexico City Share Tops 7%
Philip Morris International (PMI) showcased IQOS heated tobacco systems and nicotine pouch products at Technovation 2026 in Buenos Aires on October 7–8, presenting research on consumer attitudes, regulatory developments and illicit cigarette trade across Latin America. PMI Chief Global Growth Officer Stefano Volpetti said smoke-free products accounted for more than 7% of the Mexico City market. Argentina repealed its heated tobacco ban in May 2026 and introduced registration requirements for tobacco and nicotine products, while local media reported nicotine pouch sales in Mendoza. A PMI-commissioned survey found that only 8% of respondents across four Latin American countries were familiar with nicotine pouches. A separate KPMG study estimated illicit cigarette consumption at 77 billion sticks across 11 markets in Latin America and Canada in 2025.
