Corporate Governance Report<br />

The Board of the Company is pleased to present this Corporate Governance Report in the annual report for the<br />

year ended 31 December 2015.<br />

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES<br />

The Company is committed to achieving high corporate governance standards. The Board believes that high<br />

corporate governance standards are essential in providing a framework for the Company to safeguard the<br />

interests of shareholders and to enhance corporate value and accountability.<br />

The Company’s corporate governance practices are based on the principles and code provisions as set out in the<br />

Corporate Governance Code (the “CG Code”) contained in Appendix 14 to the Listing Rules.<br />

In the opinion of the Directors, throughout the year under review, the Company has complied with all the code<br />

provisions as set out in the CG Code, save and except for code provision E.1.2 which states that the Chairman<br />

of the Board should attend the annual general meeting (“AGM”) of the Company. The relevant details are set out<br />

under “Communication with Shareholders and Investor Relations” below.<br />

The Company will continue to review and enhance its corporate governance practices to ensure that it will<br />

continue to meet the requirements of the CG Code and the rising expectation of the Shareholders and investors.<br />

MODEL CODE FOR SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS<br />

The Company has adopted the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers (the “Model<br />

Code”) as set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules.<br />

Specific enquiry has been made of all the Directors and the Directors have confirmed that they have complied with<br />

the Model Code throughout the year ended 31 December 2015.<br />

The Company has also established written guidelines on no less exacting terms than the Model Code (the<br />

“Employees Written Guidelines”) for securities transactions by employees who are likely to possess inside<br />

information of the Company. No incident of non-compliance of the Employees Written Guidelines by the<br />

employees was noted by the Company throughout the financial year.<br />
