Dhiraagu opens applications for Public Director on Board of Directors

Dhiraagu has invited public shareholders to submit applications for the position of Public Director on its Board of Directors.

The Public Director represents public shareholders and is elected exclusively by shareholders who are not majority shareholders. The successful candidate will serve from the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at which they are elected until the conclusion of the second subsequent AGM. The election will take place at Dhiraagu’s forthcoming AGM, scheduled to be held in April 2026.

Eligible public shareholders are required to submit the Application Form for Public Director together with the relevant supporting documents. Applications may be delivered in a sealed envelope addressed to the Company Secretary at Dhiraagu Head Office, Ameenee Magu, Malé, or submitted by email to investor-relations@dhiraagu.com.mv. The deadline for submission is 15:00 on Thursday, 12 March 2026. Application forms are available via Dhiraagu’s AGM webpage and from the Head Office between 5 February and 12 March 2026.

All applications will be reviewed and shortlisted by the Board’s Remuneration, Nomination and Governance (RNG) Committee through a structured evaluation process. Shortlisted candidates may be invited for interviews. Subject to Board approval, the Committee’s recommendations will be included in the AGM Notice and presented to shareholders for voting at the AGM.

The election will be decided based on the highest number of votes received. Only shareholders who are present in person, attending online, or represented by proxy at the AGM will be eligible to vote. Each shareholder or proxy will be entitled to one vote per share held.

Dhiraagu has reiterated its commitment to gender diversity and has strongly encouraged suitably qualified female shareholders to apply for the position.
