Mr. Tan entered into a letter of appointment with the Company for an initial fixed term of three years. He shall hold office until the next annual general meeting following his appointment and shall then be eligible for re-election at that meeting. Thereafter, his appointment shall be subject to retirement by rotation and re-election at annual general meetings of the Company in accordance with the articles of association of the Company and the Listing Rules.
