Company engaged an external professional agency
to conduct the evaluation exercise. The evaluation
framework, including the revised questionnaires and
evaluation criteria, was reviewed by the Nomination

to the Directors for providing their ratings and
feedback in a confidential manner.

Mode of evaluation:

Your Company has developed an in-house digital
platform to facilitate confidential responses to
a structured questionnaire.Each question in the

governance and compliance, risk management,
Board dynamics, participation in discussions, quality

evaluation outcome of the Board, Committees and
individual Directors. Thereafter, the Board reviewed

the suggestions for further strengthening the overall
effectiveness of the Board and its Committees.

Results:

The outcome of the evaluation confirmed that
the Board and its Committees continue to operate
effectively, demonstrating strong governance,
strategicleadership,soundoversight,professionalism,
ethical conduct, effective stakeholder engagement
and robust risk management.

compliance, transparency and long-term value

leadership of the Chairperson in fostering an
environment of open dialogue, constructive
discussion and collaborative decision-making. The
Committees were also assessed as performing
effectively, with appropriate focus on their respective
responsibilities and governance oversight, supported
by well-structured processes and disciplined
meeting management.

enhancement, particularly in strengthening long-term
strategic oversight and review mechanisms.
