(c)The Board and Executive Management Team members must arrange their personal and business affairs, including their affairs with regard to a Related Person, so as to avoid, as much as possible, an actual, perceived or potential Conflicting Interest with the interests of the Group.
Disclosure of a Conflict of Interest:
(d)Each Board member must disclose to the Chairperson, and each Executive Management Team member must disclose to the Chief Executive Officer, who shall promptly inform the Chairperson, any Conflicting Interest (as defined below) generally arising or relating to any matter to be discussed at a meeting, as soon as the Board or Executive Management Team member becomes aware of its existence. In addition, such Board or Executive Management Team member, as the case may be, shall use his best efforts to ensure that he does not receive any confidential information with respect to such transaction.
Procedural Measures:
(e)Except in exceptional circumstances where it is in the best interests of the Company, a Board or Executive Management Team member with a Conflicting Interest shall not participate in discussions and decision-making involving the Conflicting Interest, and the existence of the Conflicting Interest shall be recorded in the minutes of the meeting. If a Board or Executive Management Team member is required to abstain from voting in a matter, such member shall not be counted in the quorum of the meeting in question. In the event of doubt, the Chairperson or the Chief Executive Officer shall request the respective corporate body to determine whether a Conflicting Interest or exceptional circumstances exist.
