Governance Principles regulatory
"in accordance with the Governance Principles of the Company which provide that Directors will be ineligible"
Audit Committee financial
"a member of the Audit Committee of the Company since 2018"
A company's audit committee is a small group of board members who act like independent inspectors for the firm's finances, overseeing how financial reports are prepared, monitoring internal controls, and managing the relationship with external auditors. Investors care because a strong audit committee reduces the risk of accounting errors, fraud, or misleading statements, making financial statements more trustworthy and helping protect shareholder value.
Risk Committee financial
"and the Risk Committee of the Company since 2024"
A risk committee is a group, usually part of a company’s board or senior leadership, tasked with spotting, assessing and guiding how the company manages threats to its finances, operations and compliance—think of it as a regular safety inspection for the business. Investors care because the committee’s work influences how likely the company is to avoid big losses, regulatory trouble or surprises that can hurt earnings and share value.
