Rule 406(3)(c) of the SGX-ST Catalist Rules provides that independent directors must comprise at least one-third of the company's board and will come into effect from 1 January 2022. As such, if Mr Lee Keen Whye is to be re-designated as Non-Executive and Non-Independent Director as of and from 1 January 2022, the Company will take the appropriate steps to appoint new independent director(s) prior to 1 January 2022 in compliance with Rule 406(3)(c) of the SGX-ST Catalist Rules.
