Election of Directors

In keeping with the Board’s aim of following best corporate governance practice where appropriate, and in accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, each Director is required to stand for election or re-election by shareholders at each AGM. All Directors are put forward for re-election at this AGM, including Stephan Shakespeare who is proposed for re-election as a Director in his new capacity as Non-Executive Chair.

The Board is satisfied that each of the Directors bring a range of skills, experience and knowledge to the Board which supports the Company’s strategy. The Board is also satisfied that each Non-Executive Director offering themself for re-election is independent in character with the exception of the Chair by virtue of his prior role as Chief Executive Officer, and that there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect their character or judgement. Accordingly, the Board unanimously recommends that all Directors standing for re-election continue to serve as Directors of the Company and that the Director standing for election be confirmed to post.
