Directorate Change

 

Anglo-Eastern Plantations Plc which owns, operates and develops plantations in
Indonesia and Malaysia, is pleased to announce the appointment of Ms. Farah
Suhanah Tun Ahmad Sarji to the Board, as an Independent Non-Executive
Director, with effect from 20 October 2022.

 

Ms. Farah, aged 57, is a Malaysian citizen and was admitted as an Advocate and
Solicitor of the High Court of Malaya in 1996. She graduated with a Bachelor
of Arts (Hons) in Law from the University of Kent in 1988, and was admitted as
a Barrister-at-Law of the Middle Temple, London in 1989.

 

Ms. Farah has over 26 years of legal and commercial expertise across Malaysia
on regulatory requirements, locally and internationally, in the oil and gas,
telecommunications and satellite industries as well as the palm oil plantation
industry. She recently retired as the Group Legal Counsel from IOI
Corporation, a public listed company in Malaysia with core businesses in palm
oil plantations, palm oil downstream manufacturing and investment spanning
across Malaysia, Singapore, China, Germany and the Netherlands. Previous to
this, she was General Counsel at MEASAT Global, a Malaysian telecommunications
company for 10 years, and concurrently managed her own private legal firm.
Between 1989 to 1996, she worked for the Malaysian Government as a Deputy
Public Prosecutor and Federal Counsel in the Attorney-General's Chambers.

 

The Board continues to observe the need for diversity with the appointment of
Ms. Farah, who would also add value to AEP with her previous involvement in
the palm oil plantation industry.

 

Ms. Farah is also a member of the Audit Committee and the Remuneration
Committee, together with Mr Lim Tian Huat and on the Nomination and Corporate
Governance Committee, together with Mr Lim Tian Huat and Mr Marcus Chan Jau
Chwen.

 

Mr. Jonathan Law, the Chairman, and Dato' John Lim, the Executive Director,
have resigned from the abovementioned committees in line with the UK corporate
governance code.

 

There are no additional matters that would require additional disclosure under
Listing Rules 9.6.13R in respect of Ms. Farah Suhanah Tun Ahmad Sarji.

 

The Board would like to take this opportunity to welcome Ms. Farah to the
Board of AEP.
