Dajin Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. released the Terms of Reference for its newly formed Remuneration and Appraisal Committee, detailing governance, composition and decision-making procedures for director and senior-management compensation.
Committee Composition • The Committee will comprise three directors, with at least two being independent directors. • An independent director will serve as chairman, elected by the Board of Directors. • Members serve concurrent terms with the Board and may be re-elected.
