The following are excerpts from the Bumi Armada 2018 Annual Report:
Chan Chee Beng has more than 39 years of experience in general and financial management, investment banking and accounting including stints with Ernst & Young and Morgan Grenfell & Co. Ltd prior to joining the Usaha Tegas Sdn Bhd (“UTSB”) Group in 1992 as Head of Corporate Finance. He is currently a Director of UTSB Management Sdn Bhd.
Usaha Tegas Sdn. Bhd. (“UTSB”) is a party related to the Company by virtue of its substantial equity interest in Objektif Bersatu Sdn. Bhd. (“OBSB”), a substantial shareholder of the Company. The ultimate holding company of UTSB is PanOcean Management Limited (“PanOcean”). PanOcean is the trustee of a discretionary trust, the beneficiaries of which are members of the family of Ananda Krishnan Tatparanandam (“TAK”) and foundations including those for charitable purposes. Although PanOcean and TAK are deemed to have an interest in the shares of the Company through UTSB’s deemed interest in OBSB, they do not have any economic or beneficial interest in such shares as such interest is held subject to the terms of such discretionary trust.
A director of a wholly-owned subsidiary of a trustee may well have duties to the trust and its beneficiaries that are subject of legislation in the jurisdiction of incorporation, and the jurisdictions in which it conducts its business.
These legal questions arise given Chan's regulatory settlement for insider trading in Maxis shares, which are trust assets.
