Detailed reason(s) for cessation As part of the Board rejuvenation process and good governance practice Mr Doreswamy Nandkishore ("Nandu") will be stepping down as a Chairman of the Board and Independent Director of the Company at the conclusion of the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting to be held on 28 April 2026 to pursue his personal interests. This is in light of the requirements imposing a hard tenure limit for independent Directors, where as a result Nandu will be considered as non-independent upon the conclusion of the AGM.

The Board and Company would like to express its gratitude and appreciation towards Nandu's valuable contributions to the Board during his tenure.
