The company’s board of directors emphasized that work is being carried as required and they are working to appoint qualified persons to fill those positions in accordance with the relevant regulations, which then will be disclosed in a timely manner.
In a separate statement, Buruj announced receiving another letter from SAMA stating the authority’s no-objection on appointing the head of nominations and remuneration committee, Ziad Al Bassam, and appointment of the head of audit committee, Adel Al Samom, is considered void.
The decision was based on the observations made by the authority during the inspection visit, the statement said, indicating the company’s board will form committees later in accordance with the related regulations.
