The retiring directors remain committed to the role and continue to strive to be effective and valuable members of the Board.

Note C

Non-Executive Directors' Fees and Allowances

Pursuant to Section 230(1) of the CA 2016, the fees of the directors, and any benefits payable to the directors including any compensation for loss of employment of a director or former director of a public company or a listed company and its subsidiaries, shall be approved at a general meeting.

The fees and allowances structure of the Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) of the Company are as follows:

  • Monthly fixed fees for duties as Director/Chairman;
  • Meeting allowance for each Board/Board Committee meeting attended; and
  • Fuel allowance.

The Directors' fees and meeting allowances for Non-IndependentNon-Executive Directors who are also employees of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) are paid directly to PETRONAS.

The shareholders at the last AGM held on 25 April 2022 approved the Directors' fees and allowances of up to an amount of RM2,600,000 for the period from 26 April 2022 until the next AGM of the Company. The actual Directors' fees and other benefits paid to NEDs for the said period was RM1,985,676.34.

The Directors' fees and allowances for NEDs for the period from 11 May 2023 until the next AGM of the Company (Mandate Period) are estimated not to exceed 2,600,000. The calculation is based on the estimated number of scheduled Board and Board Committees' meetings and on assumption that all the NEDs will remain in office until the next AGM. This resolution is to facilitate payment of the Directors' fees and allowances for the Mandate Period.

The Board will seek shareholders' approval at the next AGM in the event the Directors' fees and allowances proposed are insufficient.

The Company will retain its position to table a single resolution on the approval of the fees of the NEDs. The breakdown of the detailed Directors' remuneration paid for FY2022 is disclosed in the Corporate Governance Report 2022, which is accessible to the public at PDB's corporate website, www.mymesra.com.my.
