Resolutions 4 to 12 relate to the election of directors. In accordance with the Company's articles of association, all directors are submitting themselves for election or re-election at the Annual General Meeting.
Biographical details for the directors can be found in the notes accompanying the resolutions.
As Chairman, I confirm on behalf of the Board that each of the directors continues to their role and to make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board. Accordingly, I have no hesitation in recommending their re-election to shareholders.
My fellow Board members have concluded that I also continue to demonstrate commitment to my role and to make an effective and valuable contribution to the Board, and are therefore recommending my re-election to shareholders.
The Board considers that all the resolutions being proposed are interests of the shareholders as a whole and will promote the success of the Company, and accordingly recommends that you vote in favour of each of the directors intend to do in respect of their own beneficial holdings amounting to 1,52,919 shares, representing 0,5 per cent of the capital of the Company as at 20 December 2023.
