Key resolutions to be put before shareholders include:

Board composition • Re-election of five directors: Executive Vice Chairman Dr. Wong Ying Wai, Chief Executive Officer and President Mr. Chum Kwan Lock Grant, Independent Non-Executive Director (INED) Mr. Victor Patrick Hoog Antink, Non-Executive Chairman Mr. Patrick Sydney Dumont, and INED Ms. Chung Kit Yi Kitty. • Mr. Hoog Antink, an INED since 2012, will be subject to a separate vote as his tenure exceeds nine years; the board and nomination committee affirm his independence.
2. Capital mandates • Share Repurchase Mandate: authority to buy back up to 10% of issued shares, equivalent to 809.34 million shares, based on the current issued share capital of 8.09 billion shares. • Issuance Mandate: authority to issue, sell or transfer up to 20% of issued shares, or 1.62 billion shares, with an additional “extension” equivalent to shares repurchased under the buy-back mandate. • The board states it has no immediate plans to exercise either mandate.
