  • Tengku Dato’ Sri Azmil Zahruddin Raja Abdul Aziz is a Director of CelcomDigi Berhad, CIMB Group Holdings Berhad, CIMB Bank Berhad, and CIMB Thai Bank Public Company Limited (Companies). Tengku Azmil will recuse from voting and participating in any discussions and deliberations involving the interest of CelcomDigi Berhad, CIMB Group Holdings Berhad and CIMB Bank Berhad and/or their group of companies at Board and Board Committee meetings of Sime, where applicable.
  • Dato’ Seri Ahmad Johan Mohammad Raslan is a Director of the Institute of Corporate Directors Malaysia (ICDM) and Chairman of the Audit Oversight Board (AOB) of Securities Commission Malaysia. Dato’ Seri Ahmad Johan’s role is a Non-Executive and Independent Director with ICDM. He does not derive any personal benefit from engagements between ICDM and Sime Group. He will abstain from all deliberations, discussions and decision-making relating to the appointment or engagement of ICDM by the Sime Group, in accordance with the Sime’s conflict of interest framework. With regard to the AOB, its role is regulatory in nature and focuses on the oversight of auditors rather than any specific company. Given Dato’ Seri Ahmad Johan’s dual roles as Chairman of the AOB and a member of the Governance & Audit Committee (GAC) of Sime Board, there may be a perception of conflict of interest in relation to matters involving the Company’s external auditors such as appointment of external auditors. Accordingly, to mitigate any such conflict, Dato’ Seri Ahmad Johan will abstain from participating in any deliberations and decision-making at both the AOB and GAC levels concerning audit matters involving Sime where recusal is deemed appropriate.
  • Dato’ Jeffri Salim Davidson is Nominee Director of Sime on the Board of Perodua. He will recuse from voting and participating in any discussions and deliberations involving interest of Perodua Group at Board meetings of Sime, where applicable.
