SGX RegCo – Public Consultation on Changes to Listing Rules regarding Long-Serving Independent Directors (IDs) and Specific Remuneration Disclosures

01 Nov 2022 LegisWatch

On 27 October 2022, Singapore Exchange Regulation (SGX RegCo) released a public consultation paper seeking feedback on two key proposals: (a) the imposition of a 9-year hard limit for IDs; and (b) mandatory disclosure of the specific remuneration of each director and the chief executive officer in the annual report.

The public consultation follows from the recommendations of the Corporate Governance Advisory Committee dated 13 September 2022, which can be found here and SGX RegCo's statement of the same date, which can be found here, both of which are in respect of the report published by KPMG Singapore of listed companies’ disclosures on their compliance with the Code of Corporate Governance on 13 September 2022.
