In 2018, FENC amended FENC Board Performance Evaluation Rule, adding provisions on the requirement that Board performance evaluation shall be conducted once every 3 years by external independent agency or a team of experts and scholars. In 2020, FENC commissioned EY Transaction Advisory Services Inc. to conduct the first external Board performance evaluation. Prior to this evaluation, FENC had no business dealings with EY Transaction Advisory Services Inc. EY Transaction Advisory Services Inc. is an independent agency with credentials and professional experience meeting the requirements for conducting this external evaluation.

The overall Board performance is classified into the levels of “benchmark,” “advanced” and “fundamental.” FENC Board was evaluated on the aspects of Structure, People as well as Process and Information. The Board received the rating of “benchmark,” “advanced” and “benchmark” on the three aspects, respectively. The evaluation report was completed in January 2021, and was presented to the Remuneration Committee and to the Board during its March 24^th meeting.
