Applications open for Public Director on Dhiraagu’s Board

Dhiraagu has invited public shareholders to submit applications for the post of Public Director on its Board of Directors.

The Public Director serves as the representative of public shareholders, elected exclusively by those shareholders who are not majority shareholders.

The successful candidate will serve at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which they are elected, until the conclusion of the second subsequent AGM.

The election will take place at Dhiraagu’s upcoming AGM scheduled for April.

Dhiraagu has asked eligible public shareholders to submit their applications along with supporting documentation, either in a sealed envelope addressed to the Company Secretary at Dhiraagu Head Officeor via email at [email protected] by 03:00 pm on March 12.

Application forms are available from Dhiraagu’s AGM page or at the Head Office until March 12.

According to Dhiraagu, applications will be reviewed and shortlisted by the Board’s Remunerations, Nominations and Governance (RNG) Committee through a structured evaluation process and candidates may be invited for an interview.

Subject to Board approval, the Committee’s recommendations will be included in the AGM Notice and presented for voting at the AGM.

Election will be determined by the highest number of votes received. Only shareholders who are present in person, online, or represented by proxy at the AGM are eligible to vote, with each shareholder or proxy entitled to one vote for every share held.

Dhiraagu says it is committed to gender diversity and strongly encourages qualified female shareholders to apply.
