reference and whose actions are reported to and monitored by the Board. The Board accepts that while these
various Board Committees have the authority to examine particular issues and will report back to the Board with
their decisions and/ or recommendations, the ultimate responsibility on all matters lies with the Board.

are also convened to deliberate on urgent substantive matters. Telephone attendance or by means of similar
communication equipment at Board and Board Committee meetings are allowed under the Company’s Articles of
