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 have ceased to be updated effective 2025-03-31. Appointments
and resignations effective on or before that date were recorded, as were advisers recorded in annual reports
filed on or before that date. A repository of our database and software is
now available.
