2. STRENGTHEN COMPOSITION<br />
2.1 Appointments to the Board and Re-election<br />
Procedures relating to the appointment and re-election of Directors are contained in the Company’s Articles<br />
of Association. All Directors shall retire from office at least once every three (3) years but shall be eligible for<br />
re-election. Newly-appointed directors shall hold office until the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) and shall<br />
then be eligible for re-election.<br />
The Directors who are due for re-election and/or re-appointment at the Annual General Meeting will first be<br />
assessed by the Nomination Committee, which will then submit its recommendation to the Board for deliberation<br />
and endorsement. Thereafter, shareholders’ approval will be sought for the re-election and/or re-appointment.<br />
The Board continuously reviews its size and composition with particular consideration on its impact on the effective<br />
functioning of the Board.<br />
2.2 Recruitment Process and Annual Assessment<br />
The MCCG 2012 endorses as good practice, a formal procedure for appointment to the Board, with a Nomination<br />
Committee (“NC”) making recommendations to the Board. The NC carries out an annual review on the size and<br />
composition of the Board to ensure the selection of Board members with different mix of skills and core competencies<br />
necessary for the Board to discharge its duties effectively.
