Mechanism for adopting a governance system in the Company

Our Board is responsible for the implementation and oversight of our corporate governance framework.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities regarding financial reporting and external and internal audits and controls. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities relating to the composition and make-up of the Board and any committees of the Board. It is also responsible for periodically reviewing the Board’s structure and identifying potential candidates to be appointed as Directors or committee members as the need may arise. In addition, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee assists the Board in its responsibilities in relation to remuneration, including setting the over-arching principles, parameters and governance framework and determining individual remuneration and benefits packages of senior management. The Executive Committee assists the Board in the discharge of its duties. Additionally, the Executive Committee provides recommendations to the Board on matters that require Board approval. Our seven-member Board consists entirely of non-executive independent members.
