39 Capital Management (in $ million)
The primary objective of the management of the Company’s capital structure is to maintain an efficient mix of debt and

The Directors regularly review the Company’s capital structure and make adjustments to reflect economic conditions,
business strategies and future commitments.
The Group monitors capital using a gearing ratio, which is total debt divided by total capital.

relating to the management of the Company’s capital structure.
