OVERVIEW
The year 2022 saw economic recovery as ASEAN countries recorded a strong rebound in economic activities driven by improved mobility and lifting of border restrictions.
Consumer demand also returned in tandem with full economic reopening. On the back of an improved economic environment, we delivered a commendable set of
financial results with good loans growth in FY2022. It was by no means an easy feat against rising inflationary pressures, tightening global monetary conditions and
geopolitical tensions, among others. Our priorities remained on preserving liquidity and capital strengths for us to continuously support our customers’ funding needs
and our business growth. With the gradual reduction of pandemic-related fiscal support measures by governments, we stepped up efforts to proactively engage with
customers on a targeted basis to extend additional support for those in need, while retaining adequate provision buffers for potential weakening in asset quality.

Reflections From Our Group Chief Financial Officer

Robust Performance Amid Strong Economic Growth in Home Markets


• The Group’s net operating income grew 8.5% YoY driven by higher net fund based income of 8.4% YoY and non-interest income (NOII) growth of 9.0% YoY.
• Net fund based income growth was mainly supported by strong loans growth in Malaysia and Indonesia and net interest margin (NIM) expansion of 7 bps YoY from
higher interest rates. The improvement in NIM met the Group’s guidance for expansion of above 5 bps for FY2022.
• Meanwhile, NOII increased due to mark-to-market gains on financial liabilities and foreign exchange gains. However, higher NOII was offset by lower banking core
fees, which declined by 6.6% YoY on lower commissions, underwriting fees and brokerage income due to market volatility.
• The Group’s cost to income ratio (CIR) stood at 46.4% in FY2022 as overheads grew 11.2% on higher personnel costs due to inflationary adjustments, IT expenses,
and revenue-related spend such as marketing expenses and fees facilitated by improved regional economic activity in 2022.
• The Group’s net impairment losses reduced by 13.7% to RM2.79 billion in FY2022. This was led by lower net loan loss provision of RM2.19 billion as compared with
RM2.66 billion for FY2021, given lower provisioning for individually impaired accounts and management overlays.
• On the back of the strong net operating income growth, profit before tax improved by 11.6% YoY to RM12.15 billion. Net profit rose to a record of RM8.23 billion
in FY2022. Return on equity (ROE) stood at 10.0%, hitting the higher end of the Group’s guidance of between 9.5% and 10.0% for FY2022.
• We delivered on our commitment to reward our shareholders by declaring a total dividend of 58.0 sen per share for FY2022, which translates to a dividend payout
of 84.6% that is well ahead of our dividend payout policy rate of 40% to 60%.

Community Financial Services Global Banking

Healthy Loans Growth Especially in Malaysia and Indonesia


• In 2022, the Group focused on driving loans growth in key business segments to capitalise on the rising interest rate environment. Group gross loans expanded 6.0%
YoY, driven by good growth from the Community Financial Services (CFS) franchise and the Global Banking (GB) operations across our home markets.
• Malaysia’s loans grew 6.7% YoY supported by the growth in both CFS and GB portfolios of 7.2% and 4.9% respectively. The expansion in CFS loans was led by
consumer, retail SME (RSME) and business banking (BB) lines. The consumer book rose 7.0% YoY, as mortgages grew 6.8% driven by demand in residential properties
in our targeted customer segment as well as immediate loan disbursements in the secondary market. Similarly, auto finance grew 9.0% YoY as customers took
advantage of the expiring tax exemptions and higher disbursement from clearing of stock backlog. Credit cards also showed good growth momentum at 19.9% YoY,
in tandem with the pick-up in consumer spending as mobility normalised on economic reopening. RSME loans increased by 9.1% YoY supported by higher term loans,
overdraft and trade business facilities. BB portfolio expanded 6.8% YoY driven by draw down of loan and trade facilities. Meanwhile, the 4.9% YoY improvement in
GB portfolio was mainly attributed to disbursement of short-term revolving credits.
• In Singapore, our loans expanded marginally by 0.5% YoY as GB’s growth of 3.6% was moderated by slower CFS growth of 0.3%. The growth in our corporate lending
portfolio was mainly contributed by segments such as real estate, financial institutions, large corporate and government-linked companies while CFS’ growth came
mainly from RSME and BB.
• The healthy loans growth of 5.8% YoY in Indonesia came predominantly from GB’s growth of 15.2% due to the resumption of trade and business activities. Our retail
segment also grew across all lines of business as consumers’ purchasing power improved on economic recovery. However, the growth was offset by the contraction
in the non-retail loan segment of CFS, namely BB and SME+ segments.

Reflections From Our Group Chief Financial Officer

EFFECTIVE CAPITAL AND LIQUIDITY MANAGEMENT


Funding and Liquidity Profile is Stable and Well-Diversified
• Our liquidity is managed proactively across the Group in order to ensure sufficient liquidity to meet financial obligations and to conduct business even under stressed
situations. We conduct frequent reviews of balance sheet management strategies which include the funding needs of the Group, taking into account liquidity risk
levels, market competitiveness and economic outlook.
• Through our agile funding strategy, we were able to maintain healthy liquidity risk indicators, with liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR)
at 145.4% and 118.1% respectively as at 31 December 2022, above Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM)’s regulatory minimum LCR and NSFR requirements of 100%. In
addition, our other liquidity indicators such as loan-to-deposit ratio (LDR) remained robust at 91.6% as at 31 December 2022.
• The Group and its major entities and overseas branches have established Recovery Plans (RCPs) in line with BNM’s and Perbadanan Insurans Deposit Malaysia (PIDM)’s
Recovery and Resolution Planning initiative. The RCPs identify credible options to recover from events impacting the Group’s financial strength, liquidity position and
operational capability. RCPs provide a systematic approach to address potential capital, liquidity or funding disruptions affecting the financial solvency of the Group.
RCPs encompass clear strategies, decision-making authorities, roles and responsibilities, and communications. Key components of each plan include strategic analysis,
governance structure and oversight, recovery indicators, recovery options and preparatory measures, scenario analysis as well as communications and disclosures. The
Group is committed to continuously enhancing our recovery and resolution capabilities in line with the requirements set by BNM and PIDM.

• We remain committed to delivering value for our shareholders by maintaining a long-term dividend payout policy rate of 40% to 60% based on reported net profit
attributable to shareholders. We continue to emphasise maintaining a strong dividend payout as part of our commitment to meet shareholders’ expectations for good
returns while managing the Group’s capital effectively.

• The Board declared a single-tier first interim dividend of 28.0 sen per ordinary share for FY2022. A Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was applied to the first interim
dividend, in which 7.0 sen was electable to be reinvested in new Maybank shares in accordance with the DRP, which saw a reinvestment take-up rate of 77.9%.

• In our pursuit to continue rewarding shareholders, the Board has declared a single-tier full-cash second interim dividend of 30.0 sen per ordinary share for FY2022.
As such, the total dividend for FY2022 is 58.0 sen per share, equivalent to a payout ratio of 84.6%, above the Group’s dividend payout policy rate. Effective cash
dividend paid out from net profit for FY2022 is 76.7% from 57.8% a year earlier.
More on dividends and DRP can be found in Notes 33 (b) and 52 on pages 128 and 147 of the Financial Statements

OUTLOOK & PRIORITIES FOR 2023

Global economic growth is expected to moderate given continued inflationary pressures and tightening monetary conditions. Our home markets are also anticipated
to see lower growth in 2023. Maybank Group will continue to focus on opportunities for growth across its consumer and business segments within its ASEAN
franchise. The Group will maintain its strong liquidity position to support asset growth.
Asset quality management will continue to be a priority and Maybank remains committed to offering support to customers on a targeted basis, should they require
additional assistance. Strategic investments will be channelled to enhance IT capabilities and drive regional cross-selling synergies aligned with the M25+ corporate
strategy.

KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR 2022


Assisting Customers to Navigate the Volatile Economy Through Client-Centric Offerings

To support our customers and connect them to cross-border offerings and solutions, we continued to leverage our extensive capabilities and experience in ASEAN and
regional markets to tailor investment solutions for them. In the early part of 2022, our brokerage business gained further traction following the stock market rally in
2021 on more upbeat sentiment. As market volatility picked up against economic uncertainties and geopolitical tensions, trade volumes tapered from the second quarter
onwards. Nevertheless, we continued to facilitate our customers’ growth ambitions through deal activities including cross-border deals such as the acquisition of logistics
assets in Australia by a sovereign wealth fund in ASEAN and the syndicated term facility for Thailand’s Charoen Pokphand Group.

During the year, we remained focused on managing the asset quality of our loans portfolio and took proactive measures to manage vulnerable accounts. Engaging with
our customers, we were able to provide early intervention and assistance where needed, the latter in the form of financial management solutions including restructuring
and rescheduling (R&R) for eligible borrowers.

OVERVIEW
As mobility returned to pre-pandemic levels across ASEAN, access to our intermediaries and branches improved compared to 2021. The opening up of the economy and
lifting of travel restrictions led to a strong rebound in demand for general insurance products such as motor and personal accidents. However, demand for life and family
Takaful investment-linked products was limited by market volatility. Meanwhile, a shift in customer interest drove us to develop solutions that are sustainable, inclusive
and easily accessible. We also continued to leverage our digital platforms and strategic partnerships to expand our ecosystems to serve a wider network of customers

Greater emphasis was placed on wealth management products focused on legacy building under Bancatakaful in 2022, as the volatile investment market has capped
interest in investment linked products. Arising from the product shift, our Wealth Accumulation, Wealth Preservation and Wealth Distribution products gained traction
among our banca customers, leading growth in our Family Takaful segment. To better understand our customers, we leveraged our Etiqa Virtual Insurance
Advisor (EVIA) platform to gain insights into their insurance and Takaful needs. Since its launch, EVIA has assisted our intermediaries to improve their customer
engagement. Its value is reflected in the fact that it was used by about 39.9% of our intermediaries for customer profiling, and 22.5% eventually creating unique customer
profiles in 2022.

KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR 2022 (CONT’D.)

Leading the Sustainability and VBI Agenda in the Insurance Industry

As a leading insurance and Takaful provider, we are constantly looking for ways to further drive
the sustainability agenda. This saw us establish a Sustainability Dashboard during the year to
address our sustainability gaps and track our progress on carbon emissions, which includes Etiqa’s
operations as well as our ESG investments portfolio and underwriting portfolio, among others. The
dashboard is also in line with our Value-Based Intermediation (VBI) commitment.

We have also introduced several key milestone products to help our customers to transition
sustainably. The Premier Global Sustainable Equity Fund, for example, is the first ESG Investment
Linked Product sold via Bancassurance in Malaysia. It allows customers to invest in companies with
activities linked to sustainable investment themes through our Bancassurance channel. Additionally,
we introduced first-in-Malaysia insurance and Takaful coverage for electric vehicle (EV) home
chargers to encourage the adoption of clean mobility.

Several programmes were also carried out as part of our commitment to ‘Making the World a Better Place’. We launched our first Etiqa Cares Centre in the
southern region at the Program Perumahan Rakyat Kempas Permai, Johor Bahru, in collaboration with Adab Youth Garage (AYG). At the centre, B40 youth will

OVERVIEW
As a leading Islamic finance provider in the region, we place significant importance on serving our customers, businesses and communities. During the year, we supported
the pick-up in business activities amid a reopening of economies by providing holistic financial solutions through Islamic Wealth Management (IWM) and Halal economy
initiatives in order to capture both the increase in consumer demand as well as investment opportunities for our customers. Prioritising inclusive financial opportunities,
we also assisted our customers to recover from the impact of the pandemic through sustainable and Islamic social finance initiatives. Aligned with Shariah principles,
we strive to further our sustainability agenda, rolling out impactful programmes that support communities while driving sustainable practices in our business conduct.
To build our thought leadership and contribute towards the development of global Islamic finance, we held the inaugural Maybank Islamic Global Connect Forum themed
“Driving Sustainable Impact Through Islamic Finance”.

KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR 2022


Strengthening Our Islamic Proposition Through Differentiated Customer Solutions
Against a backdrop of economic volatility, global demand for Halal products has remained strong, inspiring us to roll out various initiatives to grow Halal micro, small and
medium enterprises (MSMEs). These included programmes that provide value added services and financial solutions to support our customers on their Halal business journeys.
Among others, we held awareness and capacity building programmes to promote Halal Certification via our Halal Awareness Certification Programme, which was attended
by 681 MSMEs. We also launched Halal Fund and Ehsan Financing in March 2022 to enable homegrown Halal MSMEs to scale up their businesses. In October 2022,
we introduced Halal 4 Wards, a Shariah-compliant financial solution that bundles product solutions for our SME and Business Banking customers within targeted Halal
sectors, providing them access to financing, deposits, Takaful as well as capacity building programmes.
In efforts to provide holistic financial solutions for Islamic Wealth Management (IWM), we continued to upskill our Relationship Managers (RMs) by enrolling them in
the Islamic Financial Planning (IFP) Certification training. We are proud to be the first bank in Malaysia to introduce the IFP Certification enabling our RMs to specialise
in Shariah product advisory, and grow our IWM proposition. We also initiated the assignment of Personal Financial Advisors (PFAs) to provide customers advice on
Islamic financial solutions at Maybank Islamic Berhad (MIB) branches nationwide.

KEY FOCUS AREAS FOR 2022 (CONT’D.)


Strengthening Our Islamic Proposition Through Differentiated Customer Solutions (Cont’d.)

We have also been driving awareness of our IWM propositions. On top of targeted marketing and advertising campaigns, we held three IWM Coffee
Talk sessions during the year with our IFP RMs, inviting 15 customers per session to provide a dedicated space to better understand their issues
and educate them about IWM solutions that could support their ambitions. In addition, we organised dialogues with industry experts to nurture
longstanding relationships with our customers and equip them with information on IWM to support their financial decisions throughout the various
stages of life. No less than 1,573 participants from Asia, Europe, America and Africa tuned in to Maybank Islamic’s Islamic Wealth Dialogue which Scan here
was held on a hybrid basis in December 2022. for video on

Separately, in collaboration with the Group, IWM customers are now also able to monitor their assets and liabilities positions through the Digital Management
Wealth 360 platform on the MAE app and Maybank2u website.
More details are available in Group Community Financial Services on page 58

Initiatives to grow our IWM business are aligned with our pursuit to provide long-term sustainable value to our shareholders by strengthening our value proposition to
customers. Our efforts resulted in IWM revenue growing 32.2% YoY to RM1.70 billion in FY2022 (FY2021: 28.9% YoY to RM1.28 billion). This was mainly due to 29.7%
YoY growth in fund based income (FY2021: 25.5% YoY) to RM1.57 billion, and non-fund based income growth of 70.3% YoY (FY2021: 120.4% YoY) to RM132.45 million.

Innovating Islamic Banking in a Pervasively Digital World

We continue to embed digital Islamic financial solutions that complement our customers’ life journeys. In collaboration with the Group’s Home2u rollout, we
embedded our Islamic home financing offering on this platform along with other financing packages like My First Home Scheme-i, to provide greater financial
accessibility to potential homeowners. With this initiative, we have managed to grant a total of RM841.0 million approved Islamic mortgage financing to 2,841
applicants as at end-December 2022, since its launch in March 2022.
More details of Home2u are available in Group Community Financial Services (GCFS) and Pervasively Digital sections on pages 57 and 70

In October 2022, we also launched the e-KYC for Zest-i and M2U Premier Islamic account openings on our MAE app. As this brings greater convenience to
customers, it resulted in strong growth in digital account opening which outpaced over-the-counter account opening by almost double during 2022.

Driving Positive Impact for Our Communities and the Environment Without Compromising Customers’ Needs
Demand for sustainable offerings picked up significantly in 2022 from corporate clients in their need to achieve their sustainability agendas as well as from
institutional investors seeking investments that meet their ESG and SRI mandate requirements.
Driven by this demand as well as our own aspiration to be an ESG leader in the region, we have been collaborating with our customers and partners to develop
more ESG-friendly offerings. This year, we worked closely with Maybank Investment Bank on the issuance of 10 Sustainability, Green and SRI-related sukuk offerings
through various roles including Joint and Lead Manager, Arranger, Principal Adviser, Facility Agent and Shariah Adviser. Among others, we were involved in TNB Power
Generation (TNBPG)’s inaugural sustainability sukuk, as well as in MBSB’s first sustainability sukuk, the world’s first to be issued by a Malaysian Islamic bank.
We also introduced an Electric Vehicle (EV) Financing Membership Programme in November 2022 titled InCharge. The sustainability-driven solution covers various
aspects of owning an EV or hybrid vehicle including financing and insurance/Takaful coverage, while providing access to EV charging privileges through the Park
Easy app. In addition, we installed EV charging stations at Dataran Maybank, the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club and Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Kuala Lumpur
to contribute to the development of the infrastructure and ecosystem required to promote the use of EV and hybrid vehicles. MIB aims to add 10 EV charging
stations within the Klang Valley and other states by 2023. We believe there will be significant opportunities to meet the expectations of a growing number of
environmentally-conscious consumers through EV solutions and others that promote the transition to a low-carbon economy. These initiatives are aligned with our
commitment of Mobilising RM80 billion Sustainable Financing* by 2025 and the Malaysian Government’s National Energy Policy 2022-2040 of growing the EV
market share to 38% by 2040.
In December 2022, we also introduced eco-friendly credit cards, made mostly of bio-sourced and renewable materials, and which reward cardholders for spending
with specified eco-friendly merchants and sustainable businesses. This is aligned with our efforts to promote sustainability and to reduce our carbon footprint.
We also held the inaugural Maybank Islamic Global Connect Forum themed “Driving Sustainable Impact Through Islamic Finance” in March 2022. The collaborative
event with Islamic Markets seeks to stimulate dialogue between industry leaders from across the globe and foster collaboration on sustainability, inclusivity and
delivering a positive impact. The overall forum covered three thematic sessions which were the integration of ESG and Islamic finance; digital and technology
propositions; and the global Halal economy and its ecosystems. The virtual three-day event attracted a total of 583 global viewers.
In keeping with our mission of Humanising Financial Services, we continue to find meaningful ways to support our communities and businesses through community
empowerment programmes across ASEAN, leveraging Islamic Social Finance tools such as zakat, sadaqah and waqf. Our efforts to improve the lives of asnaf
households included 32 zakat programmes that seek to create a positive impact. While continuing with existing programmes such as Zakat RISE, our student
entrepreneurship programme, Urban Farming, and Ehsan Financing, we also introduced new programmes in 2022 such as Zakat Financing, an Entrepreneurship
Development Programme for Women and the Megapreneurship Project (collaboration with Group Community Financial Services). During the year, we disbursed a
total of RM25.53 million through various Majlis Agama Islamic Negeri as well as Maybank Islamic Zakat programmes towards entrepreneurship funding to
underprivileged households such as Zakat Financing and the Megapreneurship Project. In addition, we provided food aid and relief assistance, such as Ramadhan
Relief, to vulnerable households via various humanitarian aid programmes which supported more than 45,000 beneficiaries.

Remuneration

Our remuneration and rewards philosophy is aligned with the Group's strategies and stakeholders’
interests, fostering a performance-oriented and prudent risk-managed culture to deliver long-
term sustainable returns and strong business performance.

Rewards management through proper governance, performance measurement standards and prudent risk management considerations. Governed by sound principles, our
remuneration policies and practices are reviewed periodically to ensure alignment with regulatory requirements and to reinforce a high-performance culture. The aim is
to attract, motivate and retain talents through market competitiveness and responsible values.

COMPONENTS OF REMUNERATION
Maybank Group embraces a holistic Total Rewards Framework comprising Total Compensation, Benefits & Well-Being, Recognition, and Development & Career Opportunities.
i) Total Compensation
Maybank Group’s Compensation Policy ensures that our employees are paid salaries in line with the market rate. We ensure our differentiated compensation levels
are competitive through annual salary reviews, variable bonuses and long-term incentive plans (for eligible senior management and above) to retain, motivate and
reward our talents.
Our Total Compensation is based on two components, Fixed Pay and Variable Pay (i.e. Variable Bonus and Long-term Incentive Award), with targeted Pay Mix levels
designed to align with the long-term performance goals and objectives of the organisation. The compensation framework provides a balanced approach between
fixed and variable components that change according to the performance of the Group, business/corporate function and individual.

FIXED PAY

• Attract and retain talents by providing competitive and equitable pay.


• Reviewed annually using a holistic approach through internal and external benchmarking against relevant peers/locations, with consideration of market
dynamics, differences in individual responsibilities, functions/roles, performance level, skillsets, as well as competency level.

VARIABLE PAY

Variable Bonus
• Reinforce a pay-for-performance culture and adherence to Maybank Group’s Core Values, TIGER.
• Variable cash award design that is aligned with the risk management and long-term performance goals of the Group through our deferral and claw-back
policies.
• Based on the overall performance of the Group, business/corporate function and individual.
• Premised on the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach (comprising financial and non-financial KPIs) that is tailored to drive the desired behaviour and
performance levels in creating long-term shareholder value.
Long-Term Incentive Award
• A significant component of Senior Management’s Total Compensation with the intent to drive sustainable, longer-term risk management and to meet the
Group’s Strategy.
Deferral Policy: Any Variable Bonus in excess of certain thresholds will be deferred over a period of time. A Deferred Variable Bonus will lapse immediately
upon termination of employment (including resignation) except in the event of ill health, disability, redundancy, retirement or death.
Clawback Provision: Maybank’s Board has the right to make adjustments or clawbacks to any Variable Bonus or Long-Term Incentive Award if deemed
appropriate based on risk management issues, financial misstatement, fraud, gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

ii) Benefits & Well-being

Employee benefits are integral to our Total Rewards management, along with the integration of ESG values and M25+ objectives. Maybank’s benefits programme
provides financial protection, healthcare benefits, paid time-off, employee loans at preferential rates and other benefits that support work-life integration. These
are reviewed periodically and benchmarked against industry practices and evolving trends within the rapidly changing business environment. We embrace a holistic
way of working that embeds sustainability considerations to cater to our employees’ physical, mental and emotional well-being as well as their financial, social and
career needs.

iii) Development & Career Opportunities


In line with our strong learning culture, we continue to deploy best-in-class learning and development programmes to nurture our employees at all levels in a
multitude of flexible or customisable development programmes for long-term relevance, competitive advantage and growth.
Employees are encouraged to assume personal ownership of their development by upgrading their skills and taking on stretch assignments as well as expanded
responsibilities.

LONG-TERM INCENTIVE AWARD


Employees’ Share Grant Plan
In December 2018, Maybank rolled out the Employees’ Share Grant Plan (ESGP) under the Long-Term Incentive Award to replace a previous scheme that expired in
June 2018. The ESGP is valid for seven years and it serves as a long-term incentive for eligible talents and senior management.

Eligibility for the ESGP is subject to fulfilment of the ESGP vesting conditions as well as meeting the performance criteria at the Maybank Group and individual levels.
The first ESGP Award that was granted in December 2018 vested in December 2021, while the second ESGP Award granted in September 2019 was vested in September
2022. The last tranche of the ESGP Award (i.e. fifth ESGP Award) under the current plan was granted in September 2022 and will be vested in 2025. There will be no
further awards under the current ESGP.

In line with the Group’s remuneration strategy to drive long-term sustainable goals to maximise shareholder value, a new Long-Term Incentive Plan is to be rolled out
in 2023. The new plan will run concurrently with the existing plan until its expiry in 2025.

Governance & Controls – Remuneration Practices


We maintain strong corporate governance practices with remuneration policies and practices that comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements, and are
strengthened by sound risk management and controls, ensuring remuneration practices are carried out responsibly.

The Group has strong internal governance on the performance and remuneration of control functions which are measured and assessed independently of the business
units to avoid any conflict of interests. The remuneration of employees in control functions are predominantly fixed to reflect the nature of their responsibilities. Annual
reviews of their compensation are benchmarked internally and against the market to ensure they are competitive.

Based on sound Performance Management principles, our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) continue to focus on outcomes aligned with our business plans. Each of the
Senior Officers and Other Material Risk Takers (OMRT) carries Risk, Governance and Compliance goals in his/her individual scorecards which are cascaded accordingly.
The right KPI setting continues to shape our organisational culture while driving risk and compliance agendas effectively. Inputs from control functions and Board
Committees are incorporated into the respective functional areas and individual performance results.

Senior Officers and Other Material Risk Takers


The remuneration of Senior Officers and OMRTs are reviewed annually and submitted to the Nomination and Remuneration Committee for recommendation to the
Board for approval.
The remuneration of Maybank Group’s Senior Officers and OMRTs in FY2022 is summarised in the table below:

Corporate Governance Overview Statement

Key Matters Deliberated by the Board


Some of the key focus areas of the Board during FY2022 are described below:

Launch of Maybank’s M25+ Strategy

• Building on the foundation laid by the M25 Strategy, the Board approved the Group’s refined corporate strategy, M25+, which was announced to the public
during Maybank Investor Day on 27 October 2022.
• M25+ is anchored on five key strategic thrusts and is supported by 12 Strategic Programmes, all of which are expected to be completed by 2025.
More details on M25+ can be found on page 40 of this Integrated Annual Report

Board Succession Planning

• FY2022 saw changes in the boardroom with the departure of Tan Sri Abdul Farid Alias, the former Group President & CEO (GPCEO) and Executive Director (ED),
and Dato’ Idris Kechot, an Independent Non-Executive Director (INED). Tan Sri Abdul Farid Alias’ departure was expected and a search for suitable candidates to
replace him began much earlier in accordance with our succession plan, culminating in the appointment of Dato’ Khairussaleh Ramli as our new GPCEO and ED.
With this appointment, the Board has been restored to its ideal size of 12 members.
• The Board is also aware that some of its current members will be approaching their nine-year tenures in the next two years. In this regard, the Board, together
with the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC), has already begun searching for suitable talents to strengthen its talent pool, in line with its ‘Must
Have’ skills matrix, to ensure a seamless transition of members expected to step down in the near future.

Maybank to Move its Head Office to Merdeka 118

• Pursuant to vigorous and robust deliberations and close scrutiny of the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB), the Board approved the re-location of Maybank’s
Head Office to Merdeka 118, which is expected to be done in stages, beginning 2025. Recognising that Merdeka 118 is owned by PNB, a major shareholder of
Maybank, the ACB conducted a holistic review of the deal with PNB, including seeking guidance and advice from two independent firms of valuers, to ensure
that the deal is fair, reasonable and on normal commercial terms, not detrimental to the interest of Maybank’s minority shareholders while being in the Group’s
best interest. The deal was subsequently announced to the public on 12 September 2022.

Other key areas/matters reviewed, deliberated and approved by the Board during FY2022 were as follows:

The roles and responsibilities of the Chairman and the GPCEO are clearly separated by a clear division of responsibilities which are defined and approved by the Board
in line with best practices to ensure the appropriate supervision of management. This distinction allows for better understanding and distribution of jurisdictional
responsibilities and accountabilities. The Board has also selected certain members to undertake the following special functions:

Corporate Governance Overview Statement

The Board is assisted by two Company Secretaries (both with legal qualifications and are qualified to act as company secretary) who ensure that Board members receive
appropriate and timely information including meeting materials and minutes. All Directors have access to the advice of the Company Secretaries and the Bank provides
access, at its expense, to the services of independent professional advisers in order to facilitate the Directors in their role.

As depicted in the CG Framework, the Board is supported in its duties by six Board Committees, each of which has its own TORs which clearly set out its remit and
decision-making powers. The chair of each Board Committee meeting provides a report (to the Board) on salient matters discussed. The TORs of each Board Committee
are also reviewed periodically, with the last review undertaken during FY2022. Amendments are made (where necessary) to ensure that the TORs of each committee
are updated with the latest best practices, processes and/or procedures prescribed or recommended by the regulators and are of market standard. As required under
the Listing Requirements, the TORs of the NRC and the ACB as well as the Board Charter are published on Maybank Group’s corporate website at www.maybank.com.

Sustainability
Following the introduction of Maybank Group Sustainability Framework in 2021, on 1 September 2022, we rolled out Maybank Group Sustainable Product Framework,
the first ever by a Malaysian bank, to guide the development of green, social, sustainable and transition products based on the readiness and needs of our customer
base.

Sustainability is also one of the key strategic thrusts of M25+, giving rise to a specific strategic programme, “To become the Sustainability Leader in SEA”, to drive our
sustainability agenda. Key initiatives to support the effective execution of this strategy are as follows:

1 2 3 4 5 6
Net Zero Target-setting and Sustainability strategy Organisation Embedding Sustainability
measurement KPIs for all business and offerings sustainability in Communications
capabilities units credit approvals

Our commitment to driving Maybank’s sustainability agenda from the top is reaffirmed with the establishment of a sustainability governance structure in 2021, as
depicted in the diagram below. This has enabled us to drive engagement on sustainability issues among the Board and senior management team, to set the Group’s
direction and monitor progress of the Group’s sustainability agendas as predicated on three key overarching pillars, namely: 1) Responsible Transition; 2) Enabling Our
Communities; and 3) Our House is in Order & We Walk The Talk. Sustainability KPIs are also incorporated into the organisation’s performance setting (scorecard) and
adopted by all staff within the Group.

Corporate Governance Overview Statement

The NRC assists the Board in reviewing its remuneration framework via the conduct of a Board Remuneration Review (BRR). The BRR is conducted annually, and once
every three years with the assistance of an independent international firm of consultants. Since the Board appointed an independent firm of consultants to conduct the
BRR for FY2020, the BRRs for FY2021 and FY2022 were conducted internally (with the assistance of GCS). The main objective of the internal BRR was to verify and
refresh the data provided by the independent firm of consultants in FY2020, and to assess whether NEDs’ remuneration is still competitive.

Pursuant to the BRR undertaken, the Board has decided to maintain the existing NED Remuneration Framework. Maybank’s NED Remuneration Framework is as per below:

NED Remuneration per annum (RM)

Statement on Risk Management


and Internal Control
Financial year ended 31 December 2022

This Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control has been prepared in line with paragraph 15.26(b) of Bursa Malaysia’s Main Market Listing Requirements,
which requires a listed issuer to ensure that its board of directors makes a statement in its annual report about the state of risk management and internal control of
the listed issuer as a group. Accordingly, the Board of Directors of Maybank (the Board) is pleased to provide the following disclosure statement, which outlines key
features of the Group’s risk management system and internal control during the year under review.

BOARD RESPONSIBILITY
The Board affirms its overall responsibility for establishing a sound risk management and internal control system, as well as for reviewing its adequacy and effectiveness
in identifying, assessing and responding to risks that may hinder the Group from achieving its objectives.

One of the vital roles of the Board is to establish the Group’s risk appetite, which articulates the types and levels of risk that the Group is willing to accept in the
pursuit of its business and strategic objectives. In this respect, the Board actively participates in the Group’s strategic goals and plans, ensuring that the corresponding
risks are adequately mitigated within the approved risk appetite. In view of the inherent limitations in any risk management and internal control system, the Board
recognises that such a system can only provide reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance against material financial misstatement, fraud, or losses.

The Board plays a crucial role in establishing a strong risk management and internal control governance structure, which is critical in setting the tone and culture of
effective risk management and internal control. To effectively carry out its risk and control oversight responsibilities, the Board has established the Risk Management
Committee (RMC), the Compliance Committee of the Board (CCB), and the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB) to oversee matters relating to risk, compliance and
controls, respectively. These Board committees update the Board periodically of their work, key deliberations and decisions on delegated matters.

MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITY
The Management is responsible for implementing all policies and procedures established by the Board in relation to risk and control. The role of the Management includes:

∙ Identifying and evaluating risks relevant to the Group’s business, and the achievement of business objectives and strategies;
• Formulating relevant policies and procedures to manage these risks in accordance with the Group’s strategic vision and overall risk appetite;
• Designing, implementing and monitoring the implementation of an effective risk management and internal control system;
• Implementing remedial actions to address compliance deficiencies as directed by the Board; and
• Reporting in a timely manner to the Board any changes to the risks or emerging risks and the corrective and mitigation actions taken.

RISK MANAGEMENT AND INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

RISK MANAGEMENT
Overview

Group Risk provides oversight of risk management on an enterprise-wide level through the establishment of the Group’s risk strategies, frameworks and policies, with
independent assessment and monitoring of all risk challenges. In 2022, Group Risk continued to focus on value creation and supporting the Group in meeting its strategic
and business objectives.

In the continuous pursuit to drive effectiveness, Risk Centres of Excellence (COEs) were created, building on the specialisation of risk professionals to provide value-
added risk insights in support of business decision-making. The identified COEs set consistent standards in relation to risk policies, risk reporting and risk modelling;
specialise in the management of specific risk areas within the Group; and manage all risks associated with our external environment and material matters strategically.

The key pillars of Group Risk functions are highlighted in Figure 1:

Risk Management Framework

Risk management has evolved into an important driver for strategic decisions in support of business strategies while balancing the appropriate levels of risk taken to
the desired levels of returns. To complement this, Group Risk has developed the Maybank Group Enterprise Risk Management Framework to institutionalise vigilance
and awareness of the most significant risks to the achievement of the Group’s mission, namely Humanising Financial Services, by putting customers and the wider
community at the heart of everything that the Group does. The framework is underpinned by a set of building blocks that serve as the foundation in driving a strong
risk management culture, encompassing practices and processes:

Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control

Risk Governance & Oversight

The governance model adopted by the Group provides a formalised, transparent and effective governance structure that promotes the active involvement of the Board
and Senior Management in the risk management process to ensure a uniform view of risks across the Group.

Our governance model places accountability and ownership in ensuring appropriate levels of independence and segregation of duties between the three lines of defence.
The management of risk takes place at different hierarchical levels and is emphasised through various levels of committees, business lines, control and reporting functions.
The Group’s overall risk governance structure is as illustrated in Figure 3:

REVIEW OF THE STATEMENT BY EXTERNAL AUDITORS

This Statement has been reviewed by external auditors in pursuance of paragraph 15.23 of the Listing Requirements for inclusion in the Annual Report of
the Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2022. The limited assurance review was conducted in accordance with Audit and Assurance Practice
Guide 3 (AAPG3) issued by the Malaysian Institute of Accountants. The AAPG3 does not require external auditors to form an opinion on the adequacy
and effectiveness of the risk management and internal control systems of the Group.

Based on the limited assurance procedures performed and evidence obtained, the external auditors have reported to the Board that nothing has come to
their attention that causes them to believe that this Statement intended to be included in the Annual Report is not prepared, in all material respects, in
accordance with the disclosures required by paragraphs 41 and 42 of the Statement on Risk Management and Internal Control: Guidelines for Directors of
Listed Issuers; nor is the Statement factually inaccurate.

CONCLUSION

The GPCEO and Group Chief Financial Officer (GCFO) have provided their reasonable assurance to the Board that the Group’s risk management and internal
control system is operating adequately and effectively in all material aspects, based on the risk management and internal control system of the Group.

As for the material associated companies, an associate is an entity over which the Group and the Bank have significant influence. Significant influence is
the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but it is not control or joint control over those policies.

After taking into consideration the assurance from the Management and input from the relevant assurance providers, the Board is of the view that the
Group’s risk management and internal control system is operating adequately and effectively to safeguard the interests of the Group’s shareholders and
assets. The Board is also satisfied that the Group has put in place an ongoing process to identify, evaluate, monitor, manage and respond to significant
risks faced in achieving its business and strategic objectives amid the dynamic and challenging business environment and increasing regulatory scrutiny,
particularly in these times of uncertainty and crisis. This process has been in place for the entire financial year under review up until the date of approval
of the Statement for inclusion in the Annual Report.

Sustainability Review

ABOUT THIS SUSTAINABILITY REVIEW


This Sustainability Review covers progress made by Maybank in FY2022 towards meeting our four long-term
commitments, in line with the Group’s sustainability ambitions as well as material issues identified during
the year (refer to Material Matters on pages 29 to 31). A comprehensive account of our sustainability
strategy and initiatives, accompanied by quantifiable and qualitative data, is presented in our standalone
Sustainability Report 2022 (Report). The Report is guided by the Group’s material matters and prepared in
accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative Sustainability Reporting Standards and local regulatory
requirements. It can be downloaded at www.maybank.com/ar

LEADERSHIP FOR A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE


Moving into normalcy in 2022 has meant that we were able to raise the bar in our approach towards sustainability, and take leadership positions in several key areas.
Specifically, we established key frameworks, policies and processes to manage ESG risks and promote the development of sustainable financing solutions. We also
supported marginalised communities, underprivileged lower-income individuals, SMEs and microenterprises through the provision of financing, micro insurance, education
and financial assistance programmes. In addition, we outlined Maybank’s decarbonisation strategy while engaging actively with the industry on thought leadership, and
our customers on their transition journey. Internally, we continuously upskilled our talents and built their capacity to strengthen our sustainability culture.

As a result of the significant progress made, the Board approved an upward revision for Commitments 1 and 2 in December 2022 to a target of RM80 billion in
Sustainable Finance (from RM50 billion previously) and two million households across ASEAN by 2025 (from one million households previously), respectively.

SUSTAINABILITY GOVERNANCE
Cultivating a top down approach focused on accountability and agility, the Board of Directors (Board), as the Group’s highest governing body, is responsible for overseeing
Board-level committees that have oversight of specific areas relating to sustainability. Supporting the Board in driving its sustainability agenda are the Board Sustainability
Committee (BSC), the EXCO Sustainability Committee (ESC) and our Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO).
