4. BOARD EFFECTIVENESS EVALUATION The Board, through its NRC, conducts the annual assessment on effectiveness of the Board, the committees, the individual Directors and committee members of the Company. During the Financial Year, the NRC conducted a digital performance evaluation of the Board and committees, reviewed the summary results thereof and recommended the proposed improvement(s) to the Board for approval. Each Director undertook an evaluation of the Board in terms of Board mix and composition, quality of information and decision making, and boardroom activities. The NRC was satisfied that all the Directors have devoted sufficient time to discharge their responsibilities. The NRC was generally satisfied that the committees comprised the right composition of members, provided useful recommendations in assisting the Board in its decision-making and consequently, the conduct of Board meetings were more efficient and effective. The members of the committees have sufficient and relevant expertise in fulfilling their roles. The NRC also reviewed the confirmation of the Independent Directors Self-Assessment as per the requirement under the MMLR of Bursa Malaysia. Once every three (3) years, an external consultant is engaged to facilitate the NRC in providing an objective and candid evaluation. The NRC has discussed and considered several proposals on the appointment of an independent external consultant to conduct the annual Board Effectiveness Evaluation (“BEE”) on the performance of the Board, its committees, the individual Directors and the committee members of the Company. However, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic, this exercise has been postponed possibly to the next financial year. The BEE will assess the performance and effectiveness of the Board and committees, as well as that of individual Board and committee members. In addition, it will review and assess the independence of the Independent Directors of Capital A. 5.
