A. PURPOSE
This board diversity policy (the ‘‘Policy’’) is supplemental to the Terms of Reference of the Nomination Committee of the Board (the ‘‘Nomination Committee’’) as adopted by the Board on 14 December 2018.
The Company recognises the benefits from its Board constituted from time to time having a balance of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity of perspectives appropriate to the requirements of the Company’s business.
This Policy aims at setting out the framework that the Company has put in place to achieve and maintain the appropriate diversity of the Board.

With a view to achieving a sustainable and balanced development, the Company sees diversity at the Board level as an essential element in supporting the attainment of its strategic objectives and its sustainable development. It is the policy of the Company to consider board diversity from a number of factors when deciding on new appointments to the Board and the continuation of those appointments in order to achieve a diversity of perspectives among Board members. All Board appointments will be based on meritocracy, and candidates will be considered against objective criteria, having due regard for the benefits of diversity of the Board.
