SHANGHAI, October 1, 2026 — Dingdong (Cayman) Limited (“Dingdong” or the “Company”) (NYSE: DDL), a leading fresh grocery e-commerce company in China, with advanced supply chain capabilities, today announced a change of director of the Company.
The Company announced that Mr. Ed Chan Yiu Cheong, an independent director of the Company, has tendered his resignation to step down from the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) due to personal reasons. Mr. Chan’s resignation will be effective from September 30, 2026. Mr. Chan’s resignation was not the result of any dispute or disagreement with the Company or the Board or any matter relating to the operation, policies or practices of the Company.
“On behalf of the Company and the Board, I wish to express our sincere appreciation to Ed for his significant contributions and invaluable service to the Company. The Board wishes to place on record its particular gratitude for his dedication, diligence and rigorous approach to his duties, all of which are highly valued. We wish him every success in his future endeavors,” said Mr. Changlin Liang, Chairman of Dingdong.
The Company has appointed Ms. Le Yu as an independent director to succeed Mr. Ed Chan in his roles and responsibilities on the Board and its committees, effective on October 1, 2026.

Ms. Yu also served as General Counsel at Shanghai Yaya Information Technology from April 2015 to September 2016. From 2012 to 2014, Ms. Yu served as a legal manager in Hongda Communications Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of HTC Corporation in China. Prior to that, Ms. Yu served as a legal counsel in German Standard from 2002 to 2012. Ms. Yu obtained a bachelor of laws in economic law from Tongji University in July 2002, and obtained a master’s degree in economic law from Renmin University in January 2008.
