The Terms of Reference clearly states the purpose of establishing the Committee, its composition, authority and conduct and scheduling of meetings. The Board Nomination Committee was established by the Board in compliance with the Section 3 (6) (iv) of Banking Act Direction No. 11 of 2007 (subsequently amended) on “Corporate Governance for Licensed Commercial Banks in Sri Lanka” issued by the Monetary Board of the CBSL under Section 46 (1) of the Banking Act No. 30 of 1988, as amended, to ensure Board’s oversight and control over “Selection of Directors, Chief Executive Officer and KMP”. It also states that matters relating to KMP may be dealt with by the BHRRC.
The mandate of the Committee includes inter alia the following:
During the year the Committee unanimously decided and convened a special Board meeting to select and appoint the Managing Director/Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Director/Chief Operating Officer of the Bank for transparency and good governance instead of a Nomination Committee meeting.
The Committee recommended the re-election of Directors, taking into account the performance and contribution made by them towards the overall discharge of the Board’s responsibilities.
The Committee continued to work closely with the Board of Directors on matters assigned to the Committee and reported back to the Board of Directors with its recommendations.
