1 Under Rules 3.10A and 3.11 of the Listing Rules, the board of an issuer should be composed of at least one-third INEDs ("Composition Requirement"), and failing that an issuer is required, inter alia, to appoint a sufficient number of INEDs within three months. The Company was granted a waiver from strict compliance with these requirements as the percentage of INEDs (27.8%) was very close to the Composition Requirement. Once a replacement INED is appointed, the Company will once again have 5 INEDs out of 18 Directors.
