CWT International Limited has released an updated version of its Nomination Committee Terms of Reference, reflecting governance enhancements introduced in revisions dated 1 April 2012, 28 August 2013, 20 January 2023 and 30 June 2026.
Key governance adjustments:
1. Committee Composition • Membership must comprise a majority of independent non-executive directors (INEDs). • The Committee chair will be either the Board chairman or an INED, appointed by the Board.
2. Meeting Protocols • A quorum is set at three members, with meetings held at least once annually. • Written resolutions endorsed by all available members are deemed as valid as physical meetings. • Directors may attend via tele- or video-conference, and alternates may be appointed in writing.
3. Expanded Authorities • The Committee may request any information within its remit from employees. • It is empowered to seek external professional advice and invite specialists to meetings when necessary.
4. Core Responsibilities • Conduct annual reviews of Board structure, size and skill-set, maintaining a board skills matrix aligned with corporate strategy. • Identify and recommend qualified candidates for directorships and oversee succession planning, particularly for the chairman and chief executive roles. • Assess the independence of INEDs and support regular Board performance evaluations. • Monitor and update the Board Diversity Policy, including measurable objectives and progress tracking.
5. Reporting & Documentation • Full minutes of meetings are to be maintained, with draft and final versions circulated promptly to members. • The Committee must report to the Board at least once per year, detailing decisions and recommendations.
The revised Terms of Reference underscore CWT International’s commitment to robust corporate governance by reinforcing independent oversight, formalising succession planning, and embedding diversity objectives into board processes.
