Corporate Governance
企業管治
The Company is committed to a high standard of corporate governance
practices and every effort is made to ensure full compliance with the code
provisions in the Corporate Governance Code set out in Appendix 14 of the
Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong
Limited (“Listing Rules”). In this regard, the Company confirms that it has complied
with all code provisions during the review period.
Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers
(the “Model Code”)
The Company has adopted the Model Code and, having made specific enquiry
of all Directors, confirms that all Directors have complied with the required
standards as set out in the Code throughout the half-year period ended 30 June
2015.
Board of Directors
Currently, the Company is led by and controlled through its Board of Directors
which comprises four Executive Directors (“EDs”), four Non-executive Directors
(“NEDs”), including the Chairman of the Board, and five Independent Non-
executive Directors (“INEDs”). The Board oversees the overall management and
operations of the Company with the objective of enhancing shareholder value.
There is no service contract between the Company and the NEDs and INEDs.
They have no fixed terms of service but are subject to rotational retirement and
re-election at annual general meetings pursuant to Article 100 of the Articles
of Association of the Company. Under that Article, one half of the Directors is
required to retire but are eligible for re-election at each annual general meeting.
During the period under review, the Company convened two Board meetings.
Thirteen Directors attended the meeting held on 24 March 2015 to review
and approve the 2014 annual results and to endorse the amendments on the
Share Option Scheme 2014 for submission to shareholders for approval at the
Annual General Meeting held on 8 May 2015 (the “AGM”). Mr CHAK Hubert,
an INED, was unable to attend the Board meeting due to other prior business
engagement. Eleven Directors attended the meeting held on 30 June 2015.
Dr. LEE Nai Shee, Harry, S.B.S., J.P., a NED and the Chairman of the Board,
and Ms. CHAN Chi Yan, an INED were unable to attend because of business
engagement overseas and health reason respectively.
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
During the period under review, the positions of the Chairman of the Board and
the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are held by Dr. LEE Nai Shee, Harry, S.B.S.,
J.P., and Mr. WU Wai Chung, Michael, respectively to maintain effective
segregation of duties. The Chairman is responsible for overseeing the functioning
of the Board and the strategies of the Group while the CEO is responsible
for managing the Group’s day-to-day business. With effect from 1 July 2015,
Mr. TSE Kam Keung was appointed the CEO of the Company. To facilitate a
smooth transition with Mr. WU Wai Chung Michael, the incumbent CEO of the
Company, Mr. TSE will temporarily act as the CEO-designate of the Company
before taking the full CEO role from 1 September 2015.
