Corporate Governance

The board of directors (the “Board” or the “Directors”) of Resources Global Development Limited (the “Company”, and together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) is committed to maintaining high standards of corporate governance and places importance on its corporate governance processes and systems so as to ensure greater transparency, accountability, and maximisation of long-term shareholder value.

In accordance with Rule 710 of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) Listing Manual Section B: Rules of Catalist (“Catalist Rules”), the 2023 Corporate Governance report, which can be downloaded here, sets out the Group’s corporate governance practices for the financial year ended 31 December 2023 (“FY2023”) with specific reference made to the principles and the provisions of the Code of Corporate Governance 2018 (the “Code”) issued on 6 August 2018 and revised on 11 January 2023.

The Company confirms that during FY2023, it has complied in all material respects with the principles of the Code to the extent possible, as well as the provisions of the Code (except where otherwise explained). In areas where the Company’s practices vary from any provisions of the Code, the Company has stated herein the provision from which it has varied, and appropriate explanations are provided for the variation, and how the practices the Company had adopted are consistent with the intent of the relevant principle of the Code. The Company will continue to assess its needs and implement appropriate practices accordingly.

Board Matters

PRINCIPLE 1: THE BOARD’S CONDUCT OF AFFAIRS

The Company is headed by an effective Board which is collectively responsible and works with Management for the long-term success of the Company.

Provision 1.1

The Board’s principal roles include promoting long-term shareholder value, ensuring that the businesses of the Group are effectively managed and properly conducted by management of the Company (“Management”) and ensuring proper observance of corporate governance practices, which include putting in place a code of conduct and ethics, setting appropriate tone-from-the-top and desired organisational culture, and ensuring proper accountability within the Group.

The Company has in place policies and procedures for dealing with conflicts of interest. Each Director is required to promptly disclose any conflict or potential conflict of interest, in relation to a transaction or proposed transaction with the Group as soon as is practicable after the relevant facts have come to his/her knowledge. On an annual basis, each Director is also required to submit a director’s interest declaration form for the purpose of monitoring any interested person transactions. Where the Director has a conflict or potential conflict of interest in relation to any matter, he or she is required to declare such interest when the conflict-related matter is discussed and recuse himself or herself from discussions and abstained from voting in relation to the conflict-related matters.

Provision 1.2

Directors understand the Company’s business as well as their directorship duties (including their roles as Executive, Non-Executive, and Independent Directors). The Company does not have a formal training programme for the Directors, but all newly appointed Directors will undergo an orientation programme where the Directors will be briefed on the Group’s strategic direction, governance practices, business, and organisation structure as well as the expected duties of a director of a listed company. To get a better understanding of the Group’s business, the Directors will also be given the opportunity to visit the Group’s operational facilities and meet with key management personnel. The Company will also arrange for first-time Directors to attend relevant training on the roles and responsibilities of a director of a listed issuer as prescribed by the SGX-ST and, if necessary, in areas such as accounting, legal and industry specific knowledge as appropriate. The training of Directors will be arranged and funded by the Company. Upon appointment, a newly appointed Director will be provided a formal letter setting out his/her duties and obligations.

Pursuant to Rule 406(3)(a) of the Catalist Rules, a new director who has no prior experience as a director of a company listed on the SGX-ST must undergo the training courses set out in Practice Note 4D of the Catalist Rules within one year from date of appointment. During FY2023, no new Director was appointed to the Board.

The external auditors also briefed the members of the Audit Committee on the developments in accounting standards (where applicable) during the Audit Committee meetings, whilst the Company Secretary and the Sponsor will periodically update the Board on any changes in the requirements of the Companies Act 1967 (“Companies Act”), the Catalist Rules and corporate governance in Singapore as well as those pertaining to the roles and responsibilities of a director of a listed company.

Provision 1.3

All Directors have objectively discharged their duties and responsibilities as fiduciaries and taken decisions in the best interests of the Group at all times.

In addition to statutory duties and responsibilities, the Board’s duties, including the matters to be approved by the Board, are set out as follows:

a)  supervise and approve strategic direction of the Group;

b)  review the business practices and risk management of the Group;

c)  review the management performance of the Group;

d)  review and approve half yearly and full year results announcements;

e)  review and approve the annual report and audited financial statements;

f)  review and approve the budget plan;

g)  review and approve the dividend policy;

h)  review and approve interested person transactions;

i)  review and approve major transactions including but not limited to corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investments, acquisitions, and disposals of assets;

j)  review and approve major corporate policies on key areas of operations;

k)  ensure that there are policies and safeguards in the system of internal controls to preserve the integrity of assets; and

l)  consider sustainability issues such as environmental and social factors as part of its strategic plans.

Provision 1.4

The Board has set up three committees to assist in the execution of the Board’s responsibilities. These committees include the Nominating Committee (“NC”), the Remuneration Committee (“RC”) and the Audit Committee (“AC”) (collectively, the “Board Committees” and each a “Board Committee”). Each Board Committee carries out its functions within clear written terms of its respective terms of reference (“TOR”). The composition and description of each Board Committee are set out in this report. Any changes to the TOR for any Board Committee requires the specific written approval of the Board.

All the Board Committees are actively engaged and play an important role in ensuring good corporate governance in the Company and within the Group. The Board conducts regular scheduled meetings. The Board Committees report its activities regularly to the Board to keep the Board updated on business activities and the overall business environment in which the Group operates. Minutes of the Board Committees are regularly provided to the Board and are available to all Board members. The Board acknowledges that while these various Board Committees have the authority to examine particular issues and report back to the Board with their decisions and recommendations, the ultimate responsibility on all matters lies within the Board. The Board Committees have explicit authority to investigate any matter within their TOR, have full access to and co-operation of Management, have resources to enable them to discharge their functions properly and full discretion to invite any Director or senior management to attend their meetings.

Provision 1.5

Formal Board meetings are held at least half yearly to coincide with the Group’s half yearly and full year financial results. Ad-hoc meetings are convened as and when required to address any significant issues that arise in between the scheduled meetings. The Board Committees meet at certain time periods in accordance with their respective TOR or as and when needed. The Company’s constitution (“Constitution”) allows a Board meeting to be conducted through electronic means such as telephone and video conferences. The Directors can meet the Management in person or discuss via email. Where a decision has to be made before a meeting of the Board or Board Committee is convened, Directors’ resolutions in writing are circulated in accordance with the Constitution and the Directors are also provided with all relevant information and documents to allow them to make informed decisions.

The attendance of each Director at meetings of the Board and Board Committees during FY2023 as well as the frequency of such meetings held is set out in the table below:

Where a Director has multiple listed company board representations, and in considering the nomination of the Directors for appointment, the NC will evaluate whether or not the Director is able to and has been adequately carrying out his or her duties as a Director, taking into consideration the Director’s number of listed company board representations and other principal commitments. The Board does not limit the maximum number of listed company board representation its Board members may hold as long as each of the Board members is able to commit his or her time and attention to the affairs of the Company. The Board believes that each individual Director is best placed to determine and ensure that he or she is able to devote sufficient time and attention to discharge his or her duties and responsibilities as a Director of the Company, bearing in mind his or her other commitments. The Board and the NC will review the requirement to determine the maximum number of listed Board representations as and when they deem fit.

Provision 1.6

In order to ensure that the Board is able to contribute in a meaningful manner during Board meetings, the Management provides the members of the Board with relevant information and documents relating to the items of business to be discussed at each Board meeting, such as copies of disclosure documents, budgets, and forecasts before the scheduled meeting. The Management will also provide any additional material information that is requested by Directors or that is necessary to enable the Board to make a balanced and informed assessment of the Group’s performance, position and prospects.

The Directors are also regularly briefed by the Management on the business activities of the Company. The Directors are responsible for the Company’s strategic directions as well as its corporate practices and are accordingly briefed by the Management on the day-to-day implementation of such strategic directions and corporate practices.

Provision 1.7

The Directors have separate and independent access to the Management and the Company Secretary at all times. The Directors have unrestricted access to the Company’s records and information, and should the Directors, whether as a group or individually, need independent professional advice in furtherance of their duties and responsibilities, they may appoint such professional adviser to render the appropriate professional advice. The cost of such professional advice will be paid for by the Company.

The Independent Non-Executive Directors are available to provide guidance to the Management on business issues and in areas in which they specialize in.

The Company Secretary and/or representatives from the Company Secretary’s office attends all meetings of the Board and the Board Committees and prepares the minutes of such meetings. The minutes of such meetings are then circulated to the Board and the Board Committees, as the case may be.

The Company Secretary also advises the Board on governance matters and ensures that the procedures for such meetings are in accordance with the Constitution and the TOR and that all applicable rules and regulations (including the requirements of the Companies Act and the Catalist Rules) are complied with. Further to the above, the Company Secretary helps to facilitate communications within the Board and the Board Committees and between Management and the Directors. The appointment and removal of the Company Secretary is a matter for the Board’s consideration as a whole.

 

PRINCIPLE 2: BOARD COMPOSITION AND GUIDANCE

The Board has an appropriate level of independence and diversity of thought and background in its composition to enable it to make decisions in the best interests of the Company.

Provision 2.1

The NC considers an “independent” Director as one who is independent in conduct, character, and judgement, and has no relationship with the Company, its related corporations, its substantial shareholders or its officers that could interfere, or be reasonably perceived to interfere, with the exercise of such Director’s independent business judgement with a view to the best interests of the Group. The independence of each Director is assessed and reviewed by the NC on an annual basis, based on the provisions provided by the Code as well as Rule 406(3)(d) of the Catalist Rules. Each Independent Director is required to complete a Director’s independent checklist annually to confirm his/her independence based on the guideline as set out in the Code. As at the date of this report, none of the Independent Non-Executive Directors has served on the Board for more than nine (9) years since the date of his or her first appointment. The Board believes that there is a sufficient independent element on the Board, given that the Independent and Non-Executive Directors currently represent majority of the Board members, who will exercise objective judgement on Board affairs, maintain appropriate checks and balances, contribute to the Board process by monitoring and reviewing performance of Management to achieve the agreed goals and objectives, and avoid undue influence on the Board’s decision-making process. The Independent Directors will constructively challenge Management’s proposals or decisions and bring independent judgement. The Board is of the opinion that given the scope and nature of the Group’s operations, the size of the Board is appropriate in facilitating effective decision making.

Provisions 2.2 and 2.3

During FY2023 and as at the date of this report, the Board comprises five (5) Directors, three (3) of whom (including the Chairperson of the Board) are Independent and Non-Executive Directors. Accordingly, the Company is complies with the relevant provision of the Code which requires non-executive directors to make up a majority of the Board.

Provision 2.4

As at the date of this report, the respective compositions of the Board and the Board Committees are as follows:

The Company acknowledges the significance of fostering a diverse Board as a crucial element in advancing the Group’s strategic objectives for sustainable development. In this regard, the Company maintains a Board diversity policy that addresses, among others, gender, age, nationalities, skills, background, experience, length of service, and other relevant factors. In reviewing the diversity of the Board, the NC takes into consideration whether the Board comprises an appropriate balance and mix of skills, knowledge, experience, and diversity of perspectives relevant to the businesses of the Group so as to ensure that the Group benefits from a wide range of perspectives and talent that thrives on effective decision-making. The composition of the Board and Board Committees is reviewed on an annual basis by the NC to ensure that the Board has the appropriate mix of expertise and experience, and collectively possesses the necessary core competencies for effective functioning and informed decision-making, so to contribute to the overall success of the Group.

Given the current nature and scope of the Group’s operations, the Board, in concurrence with the NC, considers the current size and composition of the Board and Board Committees to be adequate to facilitate effective decision-making and mitigate against groupthink. The Board includes one (1) female Director, being Ms Alice Yan. The NC is also of the view that the Board and the Board Committees have an appropriate balance and diversity of expertise and business experience, and collectively possess the necessary core competence to lead and govern the Group effectively, and hence meeting the objective of the Board diversity policy. Each Director has been appointed on the strength of his/her calibre, experience, and stature, and is expected to bring a valuable range of experience and expertise to contribute to the development of the Group’s strategy and the performance of its business.

Independent and/or Non-Executive Directors contribute to the Board’s decision-making processes by being involved in the Group’s strategic proposals and monitoring and reviewing Management’s performance against agreed goals and objectives. Their views and opinions provide alternative perspectives to the Group’s business.

Key information on each Director is set out in the “Board of Directors and Key Management” section of this Annual Report.

Provision 2.5

The Independent Non-Executive Directors also set aside time to meet without the presence of Management when required and will provide feedback to the Board where appropriate. During FY2023, the Independent Non-Executive Directors communicated among themselves without the presence of the Management as and when the need arose.

 

PRINCIPLE 3: CHAIRPERSON AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

There is a clear division of responsibilities between the leadership of the Board and Management, and no one individual has unfettered powers of decision-making.

Provision 3.1

The roles of the Chairperson of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) are separate to provide an appropriate balance of power and authority, increased accountability, and greater capacity of the Board for independent decision-making. As of the date of this report, the Chairperson of the Board is Ms Alice Yan (an Independent Non-Executive Director), and the CEO is Mr Francis Lee (who is an Executive Director). The Chairperson of the Board and the CEO are not related to each other and do not have any business relationship between them.

Provision 3.2

The Chairperson leads the Board, ensures that the Directors receive accurate, timely and precise information; encourages constructive relations between the Board and Management, as well as between Board members; facilitates contributions from Board members, including Independent Non-Executive Directors; ensures effective communication with shareholders of the Company (“Shareholders”), and endeavours to promote a high standard of corporate governance. The Chairperson also ensures that Board meetings are held regularly and on an ad hoc basis where required and, when necessary, sets the Board meeting agendas in consultation with the Management and the Company Secretary. The Chairperson presides over each Board meeting and ensures complete discussion of agenda items. Moreover, the Chairperson is also responsible for ensuring that the Group complies with corporate governance guidelines. Management and external experts who can provide additional insights into the matters to be discussed are invited, when necessary, to attend Board meetings at relevant times.

The CEO has full executive responsibilities in the business direction and operational efficiency of the Group. He oversees the execution of the Group’s corporate and business strategies and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the Group’s business.

Provision 3.3

As the Chairperson of the Board is an Independent Non-Executive Director, the Board did not appoint a lead independent director. The Chairperson of the Board is available to the Shareholders when they have concerns and for which contact through the normal communication channels with the Management are inappropriate or inadequate.

 

PRINCIPLE 4: BOARD MEMBERSHIP

The Board has a formal and transparent process for the appointment and re-appointment of Directors, taking into account the need for progressive renewal of the Board.

Provision 4.1

The NC carries out its duties in accordance with a set of TOR, which include, amongst others, the following: –

(a) recommending to the Board on relevant matters relating to (i) the review of board succession plans for Directors, in particular, the appointment and/or replacement of the Chairperson of the Board, the CEO and key management personnel; (ii) the process and criteria for evaluation of the performance of the Board, the Board Committees and Directors; (iii) evaluation of the training and development programmes for the Board, the Board Committees and Directors; (iv) the appointment and re-appointment of Directors (including alternate directors, if any); and (v) the appointment and termination of the board of directors and board of commissioners of PT Deli Pratama Angkutan Laut (a subsidiary of the Company);

(b) review and determine annually, and as and when circumstances require, if a Director is independent, in accordance with the Code and any other salient factors;

(c) in respect of a Director who has multiple board representations on various companies, to review and decide whether or not such Director can and has been adequately carrying out his/her duties as a Director, having regard to the competing time commitments that are faced by the Director when serving on multiple boards and discharging his/her duties towards other principal commitments;

(d) review potential conflicts of interests in respect of each member of the Board;

(e) develop a process to assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and to assess the contribution of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board;

(f) review and approve any new employment and the proposed terms of employment of managerial staff and employees who are related to Directors, Executive Officers or controlling Shareholders; and

(g) review training and professional development programmes for the Board.

The NC meets at least once a year and at other times as required by its TOR. The Chairperson of the NC reports formally to the Board on its proceedings after each meeting on all matters within its duties and responsibilities.

Provision 4.2

As at the date of this report, the NC comprises three (3) members, all of whom (including the NC Chairperson) are Non- Executive and Independent Directors. The members of the NC (1) are as follows:

Provision 4.3

The NC has a formal process for the selection, appointment, and re-appointment of directors to the Board. In sourcing new directors, the NC will tap into recommendations from existing Directors and the Company’s professional advisers. In the selection process, the NC considers attributes such as balance and diversity of skills vis-à-vis existing Board members, industry knowledge, requirements of the Group and time commitment ability. Background checks are also carried out on the shortlisted candidates. The NC meets with the shortlisted candidates to assess their suitability and availability before making recommendations to the Board for its consideration and approval.

The Company’s Constitution provides that every Director shall retire from office at least once every three (3) years and submit themselves for re-election at the annual general meeting of the Company (“AGM”). Rule 720(4) of the Catalist Rules also provides that all Directors must submit themselves for re-nomination and re-appointment at least once every three (3) years. Accordingly, at each AGM, one-third of the Directors (or, if their number is not a multiple of three, the number nearest to but not less than one-third) shall retire from office by rotation. The retiring Directors are eligible to offer themselves for re-election. The Company’s Constitution further states that new Directors appointed by the Board shall hold office until the next AGM and be eligible for re-election.

In determining the nomination of a Director for re-election, the NC considers the composition and progressive renewal of the Board and the competency, performance and contribution of the Director, including his or her attendance, preparedness and participation at Board and Board Committees meetings. A Director’s time and effort accorded to the Company’s business and affairs will also be considered.

At the forthcoming AGM, Mr Salim Limanto and Mr Cheong Hock Wee will retire by rotation pursuant to Regulation 103 of the Company’s Constitution (collectively, the “Retiring Directors”). The Retiring Directors, being eligible, have offered themselves for re-election at the forthcoming AGM.

Mr Salim Limanto will upon re-election as a Director, remain as an Executive Director and the Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Mr Cheong Hock Wee will, upon re-election as a Director, remain as an Independent Non-Executive Director, Chairperson of the RC, as well as a member of the AC and the NC. Mr Cheong Hock Wee is considered by the Board to be independent for the purpose of Rule 704(7) of the Catalist Rules.

Please refer to the Notice of AGM for the resolutions put forth in relation to the respective re-elections of the Retiring Directors, as well as detailed information on each of the Retiring Directors (including directorships and principal commitments) as set out in the section entitled “Information on Directors nominated for re-election – Appendix 7F of the Catalist Rules” of this report.

Each member of the NC shall abstain from voting, approving, or making a recommendation on any resolutions of the NC in which he/she has a conflict of interest in the subject matter under consideration.

There is no alternate director appointed to the Board as at the date of this report.

Provision 4.4

The NC determines annually, and as and when circumstances require, whether a Director is independent, taking into consideration the disclosures by the Directors of any relationships with the Company, its related corporations, its substantial shareholders or its officers, and the confirmation of independence form completed by each Independent Director to confirm his or her independence. Such form is drawn up based on Principle 2 of the Code and Rule 406(3)(d) of the Catalist Rules. Having completed its review, the NC is of the view that Ms Alice Yan, Mr Hew Koon Chan and Mr Cheong Hock Wee have satisfied the criteria for independence.

Provision 4.5

The NC has determined that the Directors have been adequately discharging their duties as Directors, notwithstanding that some of the Directors have multiple listed company board representations. The Company does not have a formal guideline on the maximum number of listed company board representations which any Director may hold, as the NC and the Board consider such a number may not fairly reflect whether a Director can attend to the Company’s matters in a timely and diligent manner and discharge his/her duties as a Director. The NC is satisfied that sufficient time and attention was given by the Directors to the affairs of the Group and is of the view that such multiple board representations do not hinder their ability to carry out duties as Directors of the Company. The Board affirms and concurs with this view.

Please refer to the sections entitled “Board of Directors and Key Management” for information on the listed company directorships and principal commitments of each Director.

 

PRINCIPLE 5: BOARD PERFORMANCE

The Board undertakes a formal annual assessment of its effectiveness as a whole, and that of each of its Board Committees and individual Directors.

Provisions 5.1 and 5.2

A formal assessment process is in place to assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and its Board Committees and to assess the contribution by the Chairperson and each Director to the effectiveness of the Board.

The NC conducts a formal review of the Board performance annually by way of a Board assessment checklist, which is circulated to the Board members for completion. The results of the evaluation are used constructively by the NC to identify areas of improvement and to recommend appropriate action to the Board. The evaluation serves to assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole on the following parameters:

(a) Board composition;

(b) Board information;

(c) Board process;

(d) Board accountability;

(e) CEO or top management; and

(f) standards of conduct.

The evaluation of the Board is to be performed annually by having all members complete the Board and individual Directors’ evaluation questionnaires individually based on the above assessment parameters. The result of the performance evaluation will be compiled by the Company Secretary, and the consolidated responses will be submitted to the NC for review. The NC will collate and review the responses and results of the questionnaire and discuss collectively with other Board members to address or recommend any areas for improvement and follow-up actions. The review of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its Board Committees and each individual Director has been undertaken collectively by the Board for FY2023 without the engagement of an external facilitator.

For FY2023, the Board is satisfied that each individual Director has allocated sufficient time and attention to the affairs of the Company and is of the view that the effectiveness of the Board as a whole and of each of the Board Committees, as well as the contribution of each Director to the effectiveness of the Board and Board Committees have been satisfactory.

Remuneration Matters

PRINCIPLE 6: PROCEDURES FOR DEVELOPING REMUNERATION POLICIES

The Board has a formal and transparent procedure for developing policies on Director and executive remuneration, and for fixing the remuneration packages of individual Directors and key management personnel. No Director is involved in deciding his or her own remuneration.

Provision 6.1

The primary function of the RC is to advise the Board on compensation issues. In particular, in relation to the remuneration of Directors and key management personnel, a portion of the compensation should be contingent upon the financial performance of the Company to foster the creation of long-term shareholder value.

The RC carries out its duties in accordance with a set of TOR which include, amongst others, the following:

(a) to review and submit its recommendations for endorsement by the entire Board, a general framework of remuneration for the Board, the specific remuneration packages, and terms of employment (where applicable) for each Director, the CEO (if CEO is not a Director) and key management personnel;

(b) to review, recommend and determine specific remuneration packages for each Director and key management personnel including but not limited to directors’ fees, salaries, allowances, bonuses, options, share-based incentives and awards, and benefits-in-kind;

(c) to review and to recommend to the Board the terms of renewal of service contracts of executive Directors and key management personnel;

(d) to review the Company’s obligations arising in the event of termination of the executive Directors and key management personnel and to ensure termination clauses entailed in the service contracts contain fair and reasonable termination clauses which are not overly generous;

(e) to review and recommend to the Board the terms of share options, shares award plans or any long-term incentive schemes which may be set up from time to time, in particular to review whether Directors, key management personnel or such employee should be eligible for such schemes and also to evaluate the costs and benefits of such schemes and to do all acts necessary in connection therewith;

(f) to function as the committee referred to in the RGD Employee Share Option Scheme (“RGD ESOS”) and RGD Performance Share Plan (“RGD PSP”), and have all the powers as set out in the RGD ESOS and the RGD PSP; and

(g) to carry out such other duties in the manner that it deems expedient, subject always to any regulations or restrictions as may be conferred by the Board to the RC.

The RC meets at least once a year and at other times as required, in accordance with its TOR. The Chairperson of the RC reports formally to the Board on its proceedings after each meeting on all matters within its duties and responsibilities.

Provision 6.2

As at the date of this report, the RC comprises three (3) members, all of whom, including the RC Chairperson, are Independent Non- Executive Directors. The members of the RC are as follows:

Provision 6.3

The RC reviews and recommends to the Board the remuneration packages or policies for the Executive Directors, the CEO and the key management personnel based on the performance of the Group, the individual Director, CEO, and key management personnel (as the case may be). No Director individually decides or is involved in the determination of his or her own remuneration. The RC’s recommendations are submitted for endorsement by the Board.

The RC will also review the Company’s obligations under the service agreement entered into with the Executive Directors and key management personnel that would arise in the event of termination of these service agreements. This is to ensure that such service agreements contain fair and reasonable termination clauses which are not overly generous. The RC aims to be fair and avoid rewarding poor performance. The Board also ensures that the remuneration policy supports the Company’s objective and strategies.

Provision 6.4

The RC will, from time to time, and where necessary, seek advice from external remuneration consultants in structuring the remuneration policy and determine the level and mix of remuneration for the Directors and key management personnel. The RC did not engage any remuneration consultant for FY2023.

PRINCIPLE 7: LEVEL AND MIX OF REMUNERATION

The level and structure of remuneration of the Board and key management personnel are appropriate and proportionate to the sustained performance and value creation of the Company, taking into account the strategic objectives of the Company.

Provisions 7.1 and 7.3

Executive Directors do not receive Directors’ fees. The remuneration for Executive Directors and key management personnel comprises a fixed and variable component. The variable component is performance-related and is linked to the Group’s performance and the performance of each Executive Director and key management personnel. The Company does not use contractual provisions to allow the Company to reclaim incentive components of remunerations from Executive Directors and key management personnel except in exceptional circumstances of misstatement of financial results or misconduct resulting in financial loss to the Company. As the Executive Directors owe a fiduciary duty to the Company, the Company should be able to avail itself of remedies against the Executive Directors in the event of such breach of fiduciary duties. If so proposed, the RC will review such contractual provisions as necessary.

The RC ensures that the remuneration packages for the Executive Directors and key management personnel are fair and commensurate with their contributions, efforts, responsibilities and achievements and one that seeks to attract, retain and motivate talent to achieve the Company’s business vision and create sustainable value for its stakeholders. The RC is of the view that the current remuneration structure (including the RGD ESOS and the RGD PSP) for the Executive Directors, the Independent Non-Executive Directors and key management personnel is appropriate to attract, retain and motivate the Directors to provide good stewardship of the Company and key management personnel to manage the Company for long-term success.

Provision 7.2

The Management, together with the RC, recommends the compensation for Independent Non-Executive Directors, taking into account factors such as time spent and the responsibilities of the Directors, the current market circumstances, long-term interest and risk policies of the Company, and the need to attract directors of experience and standing. The Independent Non-Executive Directors’ fees are compared against market standards to ensure that they are in line with market norms and to ensure that their independence is not compromised. The Company has in place long-term incentive schemes such as the RGD ESOS and the RGD PSP, as set out in the Company’s offer document dated 14 January 2021(“Offer Document”), which are administered by the RC.

Independent Non-Executive Directors receive basic Directors’ fees and additional fees for serving as a Chairperson of a Board Committee, where applicable. The members of the RC do not participate in any decisions concerning their own remuneration. The Directors’ fees are endorsed by the RC and recommended by the Board for Shareholders’ approval at the AGM of the Company. Directors’ fees of S$150,000 for FY2024 (to be paid quarterly in arrears) have been recommended by the Board and will be subject to the approval of Shareholders at the forthcoming AGM of the Company. Shareholders approved payment of Directors’ fees of S$150,000 for FY2023 at the previous AGM held on 28 April 2023. The RC and the Board are of the view that the fees of the current Independent Non-Executive Directors are adequate and not excessive.

Each member of the RC shall abstain from voting on any resolutions and making any recommendations and/or participating in any deliberations of the RC in respect of his/her remuneration package.

PRINCIPLE 8: DISCLOSURE ON REMUNERATION

The Company is transparent on its remuneration policies, level and mix of remuneration, the procedure for setting remuneration, and the relationships between remuneration, performance, and value creation.

Provision 8.1

On 22 April 2019 and 1 January 2019, the Company entered into separate service agreements (“Service Agreements”) with Mr Francis Lee (Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”)), and Mr Salim Limanto (Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer (“COO”)), respectively. Each of the Service Agreements is valid for an initial period of three (3) years taking effect from the date of admission of the Company to the Catalist of the SGX-ST on 31 January 2020 (the “Initial Term”). After the end of the Initial Term, the Service Agreements will automatically be renewed on the same terms contained in the Service Agreements, for a further period of three (3) years. For further details of the Service Agreements which set out information on the remuneration of Mr Francis Lee and Mr Salim Limanto, please refer to the section entitled “Directors, Executive Officers and Employees – Service Agreements” in the Company’s Offer Document.

Disclosure on Directors’ Fees and Remuneration

The breakdown of the total remuneration of Directors (including the CEO and the COO) for FY2023 is set out below:

There are no termination, post-employment and retirement benefits that may be granted to the Directors and the CEO.

After careful deliberation, the Board is of the view that full disclosure of the specific remuneration of each individual Director is not in the best interests of the Company and the Board has decided to disclose the remuneration of each individual Director in the bands of S$250,000 with further breakdown in percentage of his or her remuneration package. In arriving at this decision, the Board took into consideration, inter alia, the confidential nature of remuneration matters, the relative size of the Group, the competitive business environment in which the Group operates in, and the negative impact such disclosures may have on the Group.

 

Disclosure on Key Management Personnel’s Remuneration

As at 31 December 2023 and as the date of this report, the Company has only one key management personnel (who is not a Director, CEO or COO) within the Group. The breakdown of the total remuneration of the key management personnel of the Group (who are not Directors, the CEO, or the COO) for FY2023 is set out below:

There are no termination and retirement benefits that may be granted to the key management personnel.

After careful deliberation, the Board is of the view that full disclosure of the aggregate remuneration of the key management personnel is not in the best interests of the Company in view of, inter alia, the Company having only one key management personnel and the confidential nature of remuneration matters. The Company has also provided a high level of transparency on remuneration matters, as information on its remuneration policies, level and mix of remuneration, the relationships between remuneration, performance and value creation has been disclosed in detail in Principles 7 and 8 of the Code. Accordingly, the Board is of the view that the non-disclosure in the quantum of remuneration of key management personnel will not be prejudicial to the interest of Shareholders.

Provision 8.2

Save for (i) Mr Salim Limanto (Executive Director and COO), who is the son of Mr Djunaidi Hardi and the nephew of Mr Juhadi and Mr Arifin Ang (all of whom are substantial shareholders of the Company), and (ii) Mr Irianto Tan (Operating Manager), who is the son of Mr Arifin Tan (a substantial shareholder of the Company), there are no other employees who are substantial shareholders or immediate family members of the CEO, the Directors or substantial shareholder of the Company whose remuneration exceed S$100,000 for FY2023.

Provision 8.3

Please refer to Principle 7 of this report, and the section titled “Directors’ Statement” of the Annual Report for information on the RGD ESOS and the RGD PSP adopted by the Company. As at the date of this report, no options have been granted under the RGD ESOS and no awards have been granted under the RGD PSP by the Company.

Accountability and Audit

PRINCIPLE 9: RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROLS

The Board is responsible for the governance of risk and ensures that Management maintains a sound system of risk management and internal controls, to safeguard the interests of the Company and its Shareholders.

Provision 9.1

The Board acknowledges that it is responsible for the overall risk management and internal control framework. The Board also recognises that all risk management and internal control systems contain inherent limitations, and that no cost-effective internal control system will preclude all errors and irregularities, as a system is designed to manage rather than eliminate the risks of failure to achieve business objectives and can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance against misstatements or losses.

As the Group does not have a risk management committee, the AC assumes the responsibility of the risk management function. The AC assists the Board in providing risk management oversight and monitoring existing internal control systems that are delegated to the Management.

The Management is responsible for designing, implementing, and monitoring the risk management and internal control systems within the Group. Management regularly reviews the Group’s business and operational activities to identify areas of significant risks and appropriate measures to control and mitigate these risks. Any significant matters are highlighted to the Board and the AC for their deliberation. The Board and the AC have, at least on an annual basis, reviewed the adequacy and effectiveness of the Group’s risk management systems and the internal control systems including financial, operational, compliance and information technology controls based on procedures established.

Provision 9.2

The Board has also received assurance from the CEO, COO and CFO:

(a) that the financial records have been properly maintained and the financial statements give a true and fair view of the Group’s operations and finances; and

(b) on the adequacy and the effectiveness of the Group’s risk management and internal control systems (including financial, operational, compliance and information technology controls).

Taking into account the Company’s corporate structure and scope of operations and based on the internal controls established and maintained by the Group, works performed by the external auditors and the internal auditors, and reviews performed by Management, the Board, with the concurrence of the AC, is of the opinion that the Company’s internal controls, addressing financial, operations, compliance and information technology risks, and risk management systems were adequate and effective as at 31 December 2023.

Whistle Blowing Policy

The Group has a whistle blowing policy which sets out the procedures for a whistleblower to make a report to the Company on misconduct or wrongdoing relating to the Company and its employees. The whistle blowing policy sets out channels for employees to raise concerns about possible improprieties in matters of financial reporting or other matters of which they become aware, and will be implementing the same whistle blowing policy to include stakeholders, to ensure that:

  1. (i)  independent investigations are carried out in an appropriate and timely manner;
  2. (ii)  appropriate action is taken to correct the weakness in internal controls and policies which allowed the perpetration of fraud and/or misconduct and to prevent a recurrence; and
  3. (iii)  administrative, disciplinary, civil and/or criminal actions that are initiated following the completion of investigations are appropriate, balance and fair, while providing reassurance that employees will be protected from reprisals or victimisation for whistle blowing in good faith and without malice.
