• Boards’ meetings;<br />

• Remuneration policies;<br />

• Access to information and independent advice;<br />

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.
