4. Appointment, Re-election and Removal
In accordance with our articles of association, one-third of the
Directors are required to retire from office by rotation for re-election
by shareholders at an AGM. In addition, every Director is subject
to retirement by rotation at least once every three years, and new
appointments to the Board are subject to re-election by shareholders
at the upcoming general meeting. Names of such Directors eligible for
re-election being accompanied by detailed biographies will be stated in
the notice of the general meeting.
The Non-Executive Director and Independent Non-Executive Directors
are appointed for specific terms, which coincide with their expected
dates of retirement by rotation at least once every three years.
5. Directors’ Continuous Professional Development
Every newly appointed Director will meet with other fellow Directors and
key executives, and will receive a comprehensive, formal and tailored
induction on the first occasion of his/her appointment. Subsequently,
he/she will receive any briefing and professional development necessary
to ensure he/she has a proper understanding of the Company’s
operations and business and full awareness of his/her responsibilities
under statute and common law, the Listing Rules, legal and other
regulatory requirements, and especially the Company’s business and
governance policies. The Company Secretary facilitates induction and
professional development of Directors.
All Directors are encouraged to participate in continuous professional
development to develop and refresh their knowledge and skills to
ensure their contribution to the Board remains informed and relevant.
In 2012, the Company has arranged for Directors a seminar on the
topic of creating sustainable value and two offsite Board trips.
