5. Overall Board Effectiveness Evaluation for Board, Board Committees and Individual Directors The NRC would conduct an assessment of the performance of the Board, as a whole, Board Committees and individual Directors, based on an annual assessment. From the results of the assessment, including the mix of skills and experience possessed by Directors, the Board will consider and approve the recommendations on the re-election and re-appointment of Directors at the Company’s forthcoming Annual General Meeting, with a view to meeting current and future requirements of the Group. The criteria used by the NRC in evaluating the performance of individual, including contribution to interaction, integrity, competency and time commitment of the members of the Board and Board Committees in discharging their duties, are in a set of questionnaires. The independence of Independent Directors is assessed based on their relationship with the Group and their involvement in any significant transactions with the Group including their ability to exercise independent judgement at all times and based on the criteria set out in the Listing Requirements. The Board did not engage any external party to undertake an independent assessment of the Directors. All assessments and evaluations carried out will be documented and minuted by the Company Secretary. The results of all assessment and comments by Directors are summarised and deliberated at the NRC meeting and thereafter reported to the Board for deliberation. Based on the assessment conducted for the financial year 2022, the Board and the NRC were satisfied with the current size, composition as well as the mix of qualifications, skills and experience among the Board and Board Committees members and the level of independence demonstrated by all the Independent Directors and each of them continues to fulfil the definition of independence as set out in the Listing Requirements.
