Mr Tan Keng Keat joined the Company as CFO on 13 October 2016 and was appointed as Acting CEO on 24 January 2018. The Nominating Committee reviewed the proposed appointment of Mr Tan as Executive Director of the Company ("ED"), taking into consideration the feedback of the Board on its composition and size, and that a diverse Board would enhance its strength and performance. Subsequently, the Board reviewed and assessed Mr Tan's educational background, professional qualification, skillset and qualities. It deliberated its existing composition and size, and that a diverse Board with an appropriate mix of expertise with complementary skills, competencies and experiences would facilitate effective decision making. Mr Tan is considered by the Board as possessing extensive business and industry experience, and financial literacy accompanied by his involvement and familiarity of the Group's business operations that can complement the existing Board. It is satisfied that Mr Tan is able to devote greater attention and focus on the business development activities and capital management strategy as well as contribute significantly to the sustainable development of the Group, and has approved his appointment as ED. The Board noted that Mr Tan will relinquish his position as Acting CEO following his appointment as ED and will continue to be the CFO responsible for the overall financial reporting, compliance to listing requirements and management of the finance functions of the Group.
