Corporate governance compliance strengthened through listing amendments on independent directors, committee composition, disclosures and related party transaction controls. Amendments to Clause 49 revise corporate governance standards for equity listed companies: limited exemptions and a six month compliance window for companies newly subject to Clause 49; deferred applicability of the woman director provision; clarified tests and tenure rules for independent directors; mandatory disclosure of appointment terms and familiarisation programmes; prescribed composition and chairing rules for the Nomination and Remuneration and Risk Management Committees; tightened related party transaction policy with omnibus approval conditions and abstention rules; defined material subsidiary thresholds and shareholder approval requirements for loss of control or major asset disposals.
