# BOARD OF DIRECTORS (continued)

Following the re-designation of Mr. HUANG Shenglan as a Non-Executive Director with effect from 3 March 2017, the Company was temporarily not compliant with Rule 3.10(1), Rule 3.10A and Rule 3.21 of the Listing Rules. The Company has subsequently on 2 June 2017 appointed Mr. TSANG Kwok Wa and Mr. CHEUNG Sing Din as Independent Non-Executive Directors and members of the Audit Committee of the Company.

As at the date of this report, the Board comprised ten Directors, five of whom are Executive Directors (including the Chairman), four of whom are Independent Non-Executive Directors and one of whom is Non-Executive Director. Details of backgrounds and qualifications of each Director are set out in the section headed “Biographies of Directors” of this annual report. The Company has arranged appropriate insurance cover in respect of legal actions against the Directors.

The Board is responsible for the overall strategic development of the Group and determining policies and practices on the Company’s corporate governance. It also monitors the financial performance and the internal controls of the Group’s business operations. Executive Directors are responsible for running the Group and executing the strategies adopted by the Board. The day-to-day running of the Company is delegated to the management with department heads responsible for different aspects of the businesses/functions.

The Non-Executive Directors (including the Independent Non-Executive Directors) serve the relevant function of bringing independent judgement on the development, performance and risk management of the Group through their contributions in board meetings.

The Board considers that each Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company is independent in character and judgement. The Company has received from each Independent Non-executive Director a written confirmation of his independence pursuant to Rule 3.13 of the Listing Rules.

董事局（續）

董事局負責本集團的整體發展策略及釐定本公司企業管治政策及常規，並同時監察集團財務表現及業務營運之內部監控。執行董事負責集團之運作及執行董事局採納之政策。本公司日常營運則授權管理層管理，各部門主管負責不同範疇之業務╱職能。

非執行董事（包括獨立非執行董事）擔當相關職能，透過參與董事局會議為董事局在集團發展、表現及風險管理方面給予獨立意見。
