China New Higher Education Group Limited (stock code: 2001) issued an announcement detailing the updated Terms of Reference for its Nomination Committee. According to the document, the committee is established by board resolution and must comprise at least three directors, with a majority being independent non-executive directors. The chairman of the committee may be the board chairman or an independent non-executive director and must be appointed by the board.

The company requires that at least one committee member be of a different gender to enhance board diversity. The committee’s responsibilities include reviewing the board’s structure, size, and diversity—covering aspects such as gender, age, culture, ethnicity, and professional background—and recommending adjustments to complement the corporate strategy. The committee is also tasked with identifying candidates for directorships, assessing the independence of independent non-executive directors, and making appointment and reappointment recommendations for board positions.

Other highlights include the committee’s role in supporting board performance evaluations and ensuring adequate succession planning for key leadership roles. The announcement stipulates the need for proper record-keeping of meetings, with minutes circulated to directors. The board maintains the right to amend these terms, provided such changes comply with the listing rules and the company’s articles of association.
