In consideration of Mr. Su’s extensive knowledge and experience in various aspects, in particular the management in the steel industry and sales area, the Board considers this present arrangement still enables the Company to make decisions promptly in the formulation and implementation of the Company’s strategies in achieving corporate goals. Notwithstanding the deviation, the Board is of the view that there are sufficient checks and balances amongst the Board to reach decisions in the interests of the Company and its Shareholders as a whole. The Board will review the management structure from time to time according to Board Diversity Policy and the need to separate the roles of the chairman of the Board and the managing Director into two individuals. Deviation from code provision A.6.7 of the Code During the year under review, Mr. Liao Jun (“Mr. Liao”), who is a non-executive Director, was unable to attend the annual general meeting due to his other business engagement and only able to attend three out of five board meetings during the year and this might constitute a deviation of the code provision A.6.7 of the Code which requires generally the independent non-executive Directors and non-executive Directors to attend general meetings to gain and develop a balanced understanding of the views of Shareholders. Notwithstanding the deviation, Mr. Liao demonstrated an active participation and contributed his skills, expertise from his varied backgrounds and qualifications to the board meetings he attended during the year under review. The Board will advise Mr. Liao to use his endeavors to attend all the meetings for the coming years.
