7.1   Appointment and retirement of directors
董事的最小数量是4个。董事最高人数是固定的董事,但不得超过14人,除非该公司在股东大会上另有议决在任董事人数的决定生效的时间。
 
(a)   The minimum number of directors is 4. The maximum number of directors is to be fixed
      by the directors, but may not be more than 14 unless the company in general meeting
      resolves otherwise. The directors must not determine a maximum which is less than the
      number of directors in office at the time the determination takes effect.
(b)   The directors may appoint any individual to be a director, either as an addition to the
      existing directors or to fill a casual vacancy, but so that the total number of directors does
      not exceed the maximum number fixed under this constitution.
(c)   A director appointed by the directors under rule 7.1(b), who is not a managing director,
      holds office until the conclusion of the next AGM following his or her appointment.
(d)   At every AGM, after excluding:
      (1)       a director who is a managing director; and
      (2)       any directors appointed by the directors under rule 7.1(b) and standing for
                election,
      one-third of the remaining directors (to the nearest whole number that does not exceed
      one-third of the number of the remaining directors) must retire www.ukassignment.com from office.
(e)   No director who is not the managing director may hold office without re-election beyond
      the third AGM following the meeting at which the director was last elected or re-elected.
(f)   If there is more than one managing director, only one of them, nominated by the
      directors, is entitled not to be subject to vacation of office under rule 7.1(c) or retirement
      under rule 7.1(d).
(g)   The directors to retire under rule 7.1(d) are those directors who wish to retire and not
      offer themselves for re-election and, so far as is necessary to obtain the number required,
 
 
 
 
                                                                                            Constitution   page 26
     those who have been longest in office since their last election or appointment. As
      between directors who were last elected or appointed on the same day, those to retire
      must, unless they can agree among themselves, be decided by lot.
(h)   The directors to retire under rule 7.1(d) (both as to number and identity) is decided having
      regard to the composition of the board of directors at the date of the notice calling the
      AGM. A director is not required to retire and is not relieved from retiring because of a
      change in the number or identity of the directors after the date of the notice but before the
      meeting closes.
(i)   The company may by resolution at an AGM fill an office vacated by a director under
      rules 7.1(c) or 7.1(d) by electing or re-electing an eligible person to that office.
(j)   The retirement of a director from office under this constitution and the re-election of a
      director or the election of another person to that office (as the case may be) takes effect
      at the conclusion of the meeting at which the retirement and re-election or election occur.
(k)   A person is eligible for election to the office of a director at a general meeting only if:
      (1)       the person is in office as a director immediately before that meeting;
      (2)       the person has been nominated by the directors for election at that meeting;
      (3)       a notice of the director’s candidature is given to the company by a member at
                least 45 business days before the meeting, together with a notice signed by the
                nominee stating his or her consent to the nomination (if the nominee is not a
                member).
(l)   A partner, employer or employee of an auditor of the company will not be appointed or
      elected as a director.
 
7.2   Vacating office
      In addition to the circumstances prescribed by the Act and this constitution, the office of a
      director becomes vacant if the director:
(a)   becomes of unsound mind or a person who is, or whose estate is, liable to be dealt with
      in any way under the law relating to mental health;
(b)   becomes bankrupt or insolvent or makes any arrangement or composition with his or her
      creditors generally;
(c)   is convicted on indictment of an offence and the directors do not within one month after
      that conviction resolve to confirm the director’s appointment or election (as the case may
      be) to the office of director;
(d)   fails to attend meetings of the directors for more than 3 consecutive meetings without
      leave of absence from the directors; o
(e)   resigns by written notice to the company.

(a)   Each director is entitled to such remuneration from the company for his or her services as
      a director or as the directors decide but the total amount provided to all directors for their
      services as directors must not exceed in aggregate in any financial year the amount fixed
      by the company in general meeting.
(b)   When calculating a director’s remuneration for the purposes of rule 7.3(a), disregard any
      amount paid by the company or related body corporate for an insurance premium paid or
      agreed to be paid for a director under rule 9.4.
(c)   Remuneration under rule 7.3(a) may be provided in such manner that the directors
      decide, including by way of non cash benefit, such as a contribution to a superannuation
      fund.
 
 
 
 
                                                                                            Constitution   page 27
(d)   The remuneration is taken to accrue from day to day.
(e)   The remuneration of a director (who is not a managing director or an executive director)
      must not include a commission on, or a percentage of, profits or operating revenue.
(f)   The directors are entitled to be paid all travelling and other expenses they incur in
      attending to the company’s affairs, including attending and returning from general
      meetings of the company or meetings of the directors or of committees of the directors.
(g)   If a director, with the concurrence of the directors, performs extra services or makes any
      special exertions for the benefit of the company, the directors may cause that director to
      be paid out of the funds of the company such special and additional remuneration as the
      directors decide is appropriate having regard to the value to the company of the extra
      services or special exertions. Any amount paid will form part of the aggregate
      remuneration permitted under rule 7.3(a).
(h)   If a director is also an officer of the company or of a related body corporate in a capacity
      other than director, any remuneration that director may receive for acting as that officer
      may be either in addition to or instead of that director’s remuneration under rule 7.3(a).
(i)   The directors may:
      (1)       at any time after a director dies or ceases to hold office as a director for any
                other reason, pay or provide to the director or a legal personal representative,
                spouse, relative or dependant of the director, in addition to the remuneration of
                that director under rule 7.3(a), a pension or benefit for past services rendered
                by that director; and
      (2)       cause the company to enter into a contract with the director or a legal personal
                representative, spouse, relative or dependant of the director to give effect to
                such a payment or provide for such a benefit.
(j)   The directors may establish or support, or assist in the establishment or support, of funds
      and trusts to provide pension, retirement, superannuation or similar payments or benefits
      to or in respect of the directors or former directors and grant pensions and allowances to
      those persons or their dependants either by periodic payment or a lump sum.
 
7.4   Right to participate at meetings of members
      A director is entitled to attend and speak at general meetings and at meetings of the
      holders of a class of shares, even if he or she is not a member or a holder of shares in
      the relevant class.
 
7.5   Directors may contract with the company and hold other offices
(a)   The directors may make regulations requiring the disclosure of interests that a director,
      and any person deemed by the directors to be related to or associated with the director,
      may have in any matter concerning the company or a related body corporate. Any
      regulations made under this constitution bind all directors.
(b)   No act, transaction, agreement, instrument, resolution or other thing is invalid or voidable
      only because a person fails to comply with any regulation made under rule 7.5(a).

      office as a director or because of the fiduciary obligations arising from that office.
(d)   A contract or arrangement entered into by or on behalf of the company in which a director
      is in any way interested is not invalid or voidable merely because the director holds office
      as a director or because of the fiduciary obligations arising from that office.
(e)   A director who is interested in any arrangement involving the company is not liable to
      account to the company for any profit realised under the arrangement merely because
 
 
 
 
                                                                                         Constitution   page 28
     the director holds office as a director or because of the fiduciary obligations arising from
      that office.
(f)   A director may hold any other office or position (except auditor) in the company or any
      related body corporate in conjunction with his or her directorship and may be appointed to
      that office or position on terms (including remuneration and tenure) the directors decide.
(g)   A director may be or become a director or other officer of, or interested in, any related
      body corporate or any other body corporate associated with the company, and, with the
      consent of the directors of the company, need not account to the company for any
      remuneration or other benefits the director receives as a director or officer of, or from
      having an interest in, that body corporate.
(h)   A director who has an interest in a matter that is being considered at a meeting of
      directors may, despite that interest, vote, be present and be counted in a quorum at the
      meeting, unless that is prohibited by the Act. No act, transaction, agreement, instrument,
      resolution or other thing is invalid or voidable only because a director fails to comply with
      that prohibition.
(i)   The directors may exercise the voting rights given by shares in any corporation held or
      owned by the company in any way the directors decide. This includes voting for any
      resolution appointing a director as a director or other officer of that corporation or voting
      for the payment of remuneration to the directors or other officers of that corporation. A
      director may, if the law permits, vote for the exercise of those voting rights even though
      he or she is, or may be about to be appointed, a director or other officer of that other
      corporation and, in that capacity, may be interested in the exercise of those voting rights.
(j)   A director who is interested in any contract or arrangement may, despite that interest,

      witness the fixing of the Seal to any document evidencing or otherwise connected with
      that contract or arrangement.
