Distribution of HK-listed directors by age

This table summarises the age distribution of directors of HK primary-listed companies on any snapshot date since 1-Jan-1990. Biographies were not required in annual reports until 1995, so some age data is missing for directors who resigned before that. Biographies were not required upon appointment until 31-Mar-2004, so if a director was appointed and left between successive annual reports, then he could avoid his biography being published. For a list of directors ranked by age, click here.

Please note that due to the planned shutdown of Webb-site.com, the directors, officers and advisers of HK-listed companies will cease to be updated effective 2025-03-31. Appointments and resignations effective on or before that date will be recorded, as will advisers recorded in annual reports filed on or before that date. We intend to make a data dump available after processing the final filings.
