Change of Alternate Director
The Company is pleased to announce that Miss Cathy Chu Man-ling has been appointed to the post of Deputy Secretary for the Environment, Transport and Works (“ET&W”) (Transport) with effect from 15 November 2004 and has therefore, by virtue of her appointment, become an Alternate Director to the Secretary for ET&W (Dr. Sarah Liao Sau-tung) with effect from the same date.
The Secretary for ET&W is a non-executive Director of the Company appointed by the Chief Executive (the “Chief Executive”) of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region pursuant to the Mass Transit Railway Ordinance (Chapter 556 of the Laws of Hong Kong) (the “MTR Ordinance”) and has appointed the Deputy Secretary for ET&W as one of its Alternate Directors.
Miss Chu (aged 40) has not entered into any contract of service with the Company and nor is Miss Chu appointed for a specific term. Pursuant to the Articles of Association of the Company, Directors appointed by the Chief Executive pursuant to the MTR Ordinance are not required to retire by rotation at the annual general meetings of the Company.
Miss Chu is not related to any directors, senior management or substantial or controlling shareholders of the Company except that she holds the post of Deputy Secretary for ET&W (Transport) and the Financial Secretary Incorporated, which holds shares in the Company in trust for the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, is a controlling shareholder of the Company. As at the date of this announcement, Miss Chu was not interested in any shares of the Company within the meaning of Part XV of the Securities and Futures Ordinance (“SFO”) as recorded in the register required to be kept under section 352 of the SFO or as otherwise notified to the Company and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited pursuant to the Model Code for Securities Transactions by Directors of Listed Issuers.
The Company hereby also announces that as Mr. Arthur Ho Kin-wah ceased to hold the post of Deputy Secretary for ET&W (Transport) with effect from 15 November 2004, he also ceased to be an Alternate Director to the Secretary for ET&W with effect from the same date. There is no matter relating to his ceasing to be an Alternate Director of the Company that needs to be brought to the attention of the Company’s shareholders.
