In this role, her key responsibilities included financial reporting, corporate finance, corporate governance, risk management, and investor relations. Earlier in her career, from 1995 to 2002, she was with the audit division of Arthur Andersen & Co, where she worked across a range of industries including manufacturing, aviation and logistics, and services. Ms. Cheing holds a Bachelor of Business (Accountancy) from RMIT University, Australia, and a Master of Business Administration from Deakin University, Australia.

If, Ms. Cheing’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by Ms. Cheing for Just Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement), she will be entitled to receive (i) accrued but unpaid base salary through the termination date; (ii) reimbursement for any unreimbursed pre-approved reasonable business expenses incurred through the termination date; (iii) accrued but unused annual leave days; (iv) all other payments or benefits to which she shall be entitled as of the termination date under the terms of any applicable compensation arrangement or benefit, equity, or fringe benefit plan or program or grant; and (v) in lieu of benefits under any severance plan or policy of the Company, any such amount as may be agreed between the Company and Ms. Cheing.
