    The mandate of the Committee includes inter alia the following:

    • Ensuring that the Company identifies and maintains a list of its related parties kept duly updated at all times, consistent with the definition of related parties as detailed in the CSE Regulations. To facilitate this process, in accordance with the Related Party Transaction Policy, declarations are obtained from all Key Management Personnel of the Company for the purpose of identifying related parties.
    • Review in advance all proposed related party transactions of the Company except those explicitly exempted by the Code.
    • Updating the Board of Directors on the RPT with each of the related parties of the Group which exceed the threshold values requiring urgent and specific actions by the Company.
    • Making immediate market disclosures on applicable RPT, as required by Section 9 of the Continuing Listing requirements of the CSE.
    • Making appropriate disclosures on RPT in the Annual Report, as required by Section 9 of the Continuing Listing Requirements of the CSE as well as the Sri Lanka Accounting Standards.

    The Committee in discharging its functions primarily relied on processes that were validated from time to time and periodic reporting by the relevant entities and Key Management Personnel (KMP) with a view to ensuring that:

    • – there is compliance with “The Code” and the Listing Rules of the CSE;
