As the terms of office of all 7 directors under the current structure will expire at the conclusion of the 36th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders scheduled for 21 May 2026, the Company will elect 7 directors, comprising 4 reappointed directors and 3 new directors. The candidates have been selected for their expertise and experience in addressing business structural reforms, growth strategy, digital strategy, and the strengthening of corporate governance.
