Governance Improvements: AGM approved removal of cumulative voting exclusion (effective from director elections after Sep 2026). Electronic voting maintained, meeting dates avoid peak days.
No Share Buyback or Cancellation: No treasury share purchases or cancellations during the period. Dividend-focused shareholder return policy.
Board Independence: Outside directors comprise 60% of board, audit committee entirely independent. ESG committee operational for sustainability.
[AI Comprehensive Analysis]The stock split and dividend increase are positive for short-term shareholder value, but the absence of share cancellations and low payout ratio are drawbacks. Governance enhancements support long-term enterprise value.
