In addition, the Company's securities may be listed in the future, and the role will involve compliance and regulatory disclosure in connection with any such listing.

• Act as secretary of the Disclosure Committee and maintain the Company's disclosure controls.

• Ensure compliance with stock exchange listing rules (where applicable) and the Companies Act 1967, including prompt disclosure of material information and corporate governance requirements.

• Run the insider trading compliance programme, where applicable, including blackout periods, pre-clearance, insider lists and directors' and officers' shareholding disclosures.

• Review results announcements, investor presentations and other public statements for legal and disclosure risk.

• Lead the legal review of related-party transactions and their disclosure.

Group compliance oversight

• Oversee the Group compliance programme and supervise the Compliance Officer, who manages it day to day.

• Ensure compliance with the Singapore laws and regulations that govern the Company as a public company and logistics operator, and act as the first point of contact with Singapore regulators on legal matters.

• Own the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the whistleblowing channel and the anti-bribery and corruption programme.

• Oversee trade compliance, including sanctions screening, export controls, customs requirements and tariff developments affecting cross-border e-commerce.

• Oversee data protection and cybersecurity compliance under the Personal Data Protection Act 2012 and equivalent laws in the Group's other markets.

• Monitor regulatory developments in the Group's key markets and report their impact to senior management and the Audit Committee.

Commercial, transactions and disputes

• Review and approve material commercial contracts, including platform, carrier, vendor, warehousing, customer and technology agreements, and maintain Group contract standards.

• Lead the legal work on acquisitions, strategic investments and international expansion.

• Manage litigation, arbitration and regulatory investigations across the Group, and supervise local counsel in the region.

• Lead the due diligence and negotiation process, with outside counsel, on potential acquisitions or mergers.

Legal function leadership

• Strong working knowledge of Singapore laws and regulations relevant to a listed logistics group, and experience dealing with Singapore regulators.

• Track record of handling multi-jurisdictional regulatory matters, M&A and disputes, and of managing external counsel to budget.
