《復牌公告》新加坡美食控股(08496.HK):獨立調查顯示無證據指控有效
新加坡美食控股(08496.HK)公佈,獨立董事委員會已就下列事項進行獨立調查,獨立顧問向獨立董事委員會發出一份有關其發現之報告,發現並無證據支持該等指控是有效的;外聘顧問參與服務協議項下擬進行之集團於GEM上市之籌備工作,以及外聘顧問向集團提供之服務具有經濟實質。公司申請今早復牌。
報告指,釐定向外聘顧問所作付款之基礎乃經執行董事與外聘顧問之董事公平磋商後,及基於執行董事對外聘顧問所貢獻時間及努力之評估而釐定;及執行董事於委任外聘顧問方面並無不當行爲。然而,執行董事釐定酌情花紅違反良好內部控制及企業管治慣例。根據良好內部控制及企業管治慣例,監於所涉及付款金額巨大,彼等於關鍵時間應該諮詢董事會(包括獨立非執行董事)及相關專業人士。此外,執行董事應該對服務費及酌情花紅金額的合理性進行適當的獨立量化評估,而非基於彼等之判斷進行評估。
經過與獨立董事委員會討論,獨立顧問已同意在獨立調查過程中開展獲取及審閱公司與相關人士之間有關調查事項之通信;獲取及審閱集團與外聘顧問之間的服務協議;獲取及審閱有關外聘顧問向集團提供服務之通信或可交付成果。
獲取及審閱集團向外聘顧問作出付款及外聘顧問其後向集團退款之記錄,包括集團支票及相應的銀行賬單複印件;安排對執行董事個人銀行賬單覆蓋自集團向外聘顧問作出付款1百萬新加坡元之日開始直至外聘顧問向集團退款之日止期間開展實地獨立檢查,以及執行其他工作以確保執行董事所提供個人銀行賬單的完整性。審閱自公開資料取得之外聘顧問之董事及股東之最新資料;檢查一名獨立搜索代理進行之有關外聘顧問之背景搜索結果;及與有關調查事項之相關人士及參與方進行面談。
獨立董事委員會正在考慮將就獨立調查之發現採取之建議改進措施,並將於適當時候向董事會作出適當推薦建議。
新加坡美食控股於今年2月曾公佈組獨立董事委員會調查支付外聘顧問酌情花紅事宜。
