  • Explanatory Note on Special Business
    Ordinary Resolution Nos. 5 and 6
    The Board of Directors via the Nomination and Remuneration Committee had conducted an annual performance evaluation and assessment of Tan Sri Dato’ Ahmad Bin Mohd Don and Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe, who have served as Independent Non-Executive Directors for a cumulative term of more than nine (9) years. The Board is of the opinion that given the Company’s core business in planting oil palms take 4 years to mature and 7 years to reach prime yielding age, long-serving directors are appropriate for plantation companies where a long-term prospective is paramount. Therefore, the Board recommends to retain Tan Sri Dato’ Ahmad Bin Mohd Don and Mr. Tan Jiew Hoe as Independent Non-Executive Directors of the Company.

    Special Resolution No.7
    Special Resolution 7, if passed, will bring the Company’s Constitution in line with the Companies Act, 2016 and the Main Market Listing Requirements of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. The new Constitution will take effect once the special resolution is passed by a majority of not less than 75% of such members who are entitled to vote in person or by proxy at the 105th AGM. Please refer to Circular to Shareholders dated 1 August 2019 for more information.
