Board of Directors (Cont’d)
Board Meetings (Cont’d)
It is challenging to arrange the Board Meeting that fits in with the
tight and busy schedules of all the Directors. In particular, as certain
of the executive Directors devote considerable time and efforts to the
management and operation of the Group’s business, they were only able
to attend some of the Board Meetings in person and their attendance
rate at the Board Meetings were relatively low during the fiscal year
of 2008. To enable all the Directors to keep abreast of the Group’s
latest development and to discharge their duties properly, the Company
Secretary briefed the Directors on those matters transacted at the Board
Meetings that they were unable to attend. In addition, draft and final
versions of the Board minutes are sent to all Directors for their comments
and records.
Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors
The Company has adopted a Model Code for Securities Transactions
by Directors (the “Haier Electronics Model Code”) on no less exacting
terms than the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of
Listed Issuers set out in Appendix 10 to the Listing Rules. Upon enquiry
by the Company, all Directors have confirmed that they had complied
with the required standard as set out in the Haier Electronics Model
Code throughout the year ended 31 December 2008.
In addition, the Board has adopted written guidelines (the “Employees’
Guidelines for Securities Transactions”) for securities transactions by
employees (the “Relevant Employees”) who are likely to be in possession
of unpublished price sensitive information of the Company on no less
exacting terms than the Haier Electronics Model Code. Having made
specific enquiry of all the Relevant Employees, the Company confirmed
that all the Relevant Employees had complied with the required standard
as set out in the Employees’ Guidelines for Securities Transactions
throughout the year ended 31 December 2008.
Board Committees
The Board has established an Audit Committee (the “Audit Committee”),
a Remuneration Committee (the “Remuneration Committee”) and a
Nomination Committee (the “Nomination Committee”) (collectively the
“Committees”) to oversee specific aspects of the Company’s affairs.
The Committees report to the Board regularly, and have been provided
with sufficient resources to discharge their respective duties. To reinforce
independence, the chairman of the Committees is an INED. Each of
the Committees has adopted specific terms of reference covering its
duties, powers and functions which will be reviewed by the Board
from time to time. The Company Secretary also acts as secretary of the
Committees. The Committees adopt as far as practicable, the procedures
and arrangement of the Board Meeting in relation to the conduct
of meetings, notice of meetings and recording of minutes. Further
particulars of each of the Committees are set out below:
董事會 （續）
董事會會議 （續）
為配合各董事緊湊而繁忙之時間表而安排董事會會
議實屬非常困難。尤其若干執行董事在本集團業務
之管理及經營上付出不少時間及努力，故彼等僅可
親身出席某些董事會會議，因而令彼等在二零零八
年財政年度內之董事會會議出席率偏低。為令全體
董事得悉本集團之最新發展，並妥善履行彼等之職
務，公司秘書已向董事扼要報告在彼等無法出席之
董事會會議上所處理之有關事宜。此外，董事會會
議紀錄之草稿及定稿亦已送交全體董事，以供彼等
提出意見及保存紀錄。
董事進行證券交易的標準守則
本公司已採納一套董事進行證券交易之標準守則
（「海爾電器標準守則」），該守則之條款與上市規則
附錄10所載上市公司董事進行證券交易的標準守則
同樣嚴謹。經本公司作出查詢後，全體董事已確認
彼等已於截至二零零八年十二月三十一日止年度內
一直遵守海爾電器標準守則所載之規定標準。
此外，董事會已就可能擁有本公司未公佈價格敏感
資料之僱員（「相關僱員」）所進行之證券交易採納書
面指引（「僱員證券交易指引」），該指引之條款與海
爾電器標準守則同樣嚴謹。經向全體相關僱員作出
明確查詢後，本公司確認全體相關僱員已於截至二
零零八年十二月三十一日止年度內一直遵守僱員證
券交易指引所載之規定標準。
董事會委員會
董事會已成立審核委員會（「審核委員會」）、薪酬委
員會（「薪酬委員會」）及提名委員會（「提名委員會」）
（統稱「委員會」），以對本公司事務之特定範疇進行
監督。委員會定期向董事會匯報，並已獲提供足夠
資源以執行彼等各自之職責。為加強獨立性，各委
員會之主席均為獨立非執行董事。各委員會均已採
納明確職權範圍，包括其職責、權力及職能，並不
時由董事會進行檢討。公司秘書亦擔任委員會之秘
書。在實際可行情況下，委員會就舉行會議、會議
通告及記述會議紀錄方面採納與董事會會議相同之
程序與安排。各委員會之進一步詳情載列如下：
