NOTE C

Non-Executive Directors' Fees and Allowances

Pursuant to Section 230(1) of the CA 2016, the fees of the directors, and any benefits payable to the directors including any compensation for loss of employment of a director or former director of a public company or a listed company and its subsidiaries, shall be approved at a general meeting.

The fees and allowances structure of the Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) of the Company are as follows:

  • • Monthly fixed fees for duties as Director/Chairman;

  • • Meeting allowance for each Board/Board Committee attended; and

  • • Fuel allowance.

The Directors' fees and meeting allowances for Non-Independent Non-Executive Directors who are also employees of Petroliam Nasional Berhad (PETRONAS) are paid directly to PETRONAS.

The shareholders at the last AGM held on 10 June 2020 approved the Directors' fees and allowances of up to an amount of RM2,300,000 for the period from 11 June 2020 until the next AGM of the Company. The actual Directors' fees and other benefits paid to the NEDs for the said period was RM1,795,505.91.

The Directors' fees and allowances for the NEDs for the period from 29 April 2021 until the conclusion of the next AGM of the Company (Mandate Period) are estimated not to exceed RM2,500,000. The calculation is based on the estimated number of scheduled Board and Board Committees' meetings and on assumption that all the NEDs will remain in office until the next AGM. This resolution is to facilitate payment of the Directors' fees and allowances for the Mandate Period.

The Board will seek shareholders' approval at the next AGM in the event the Directors' fees and allowances proposed are insufficient.

Details of the Directors' fees and allowances paid to the NEDs for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 are published in the Corporate Governance Report 2020 on PDB's corporate website atwww.mymesra.com.my.

NOTE D

Re-appointment of Auditors

The BAC had also carried out an assessment on the performance, sustainability and independence of the external auditors based on the following four key areas, and will continue to do so on an annual basis:

  • a. quality of the audit engagement team and services;

  • b. adequacy of resources;

  • c. quality of communication and interaction; and

  • d. independence, objectivity and professional skepticism.

The annual assessment on the Company's External Auditor, KPMG PLT, was conducted in January 2021 whereby the BAC was satisfied with the performance and independence of the external auditors.

Based on the assessment conducted, KPMG PLT has also met the criteria prescribed by Paragraph 15.21 of the MMLR of Bursa Malaysia.

The Board at its meeting held on 19 February 2021 recommended the re-appointment of KPMG PLT as External Auditors of the Company for the financial year ending 31 December 2021 for approval of the shareholders under Resolution 7.

NOTE E

Proposed Amendments to the Company's Constitution

A number of far-reaching trends are disrupting the traditional fuel retailing industry. In order to face the disruptions head on and to create a more balanced portfolio, PDB since 2017 has taken steps to transform its portfolio by embracing innovation, new technologies and customer centricity.

PDB has accelerated the growth of its non-fuel offerings at station and created digital ventures such as Setel® (an innovative platform that provides every motorist a seamless experience for retail on-the-go) and ROVR (Malaysia's First Mobile Refuelling Partner) to deliver a seamless and frictionless customer experience. The company is also retiring its hydrocarbon centric mission and vision of 'Value Driven Fuel Marketing with Market Leadership in Malaysia and Brand of 1st Choice' to adopt a more fitting promise centered around the customer of Making Everyday Life Simpler and Better.

Market changes are creating significant opportunities for the most agile and forward looking companies. PDB aims to launch and scale new ventures by expanding into growth verticals that leverage on PDB's assets and existing ecosystem, anchored on data and customer insights. Whilst existing businesses will remain an integral part of PDB's portfolio, focus on growth verticals is crucial to future-proof the business.

To enable more flexibility and agility for PDB to future-proof its business, it is timely for PDB to amend its Constitution by removing existing object clauses and for PDB to carry on or undertake any business or activity that is in the best interest of PDB, in accordance with Section 21 of the Companies Act 2016. The Special Resolution, if passed, will enable PDB to expand into ventures that are in the best interest of the company.
