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 />
