| (c) disclose as at the end of each reporting period the measurable objectives for achieving gender diversity set by the board or a relevant committee of the board in accordance with the entity’s diversity policy and its progress towards achieving them, and either: (i) the respective proportions of men and women on the board, in senior executive positions and across the whole organization (including how the entity has defined “senior executive” for these purposes); or (ii) if the entity is a “relevant employer” under the Workplace Gender Equality Act, the entity’s most recent “Gender Equality Indicators”, as defined in and published under that Act 1.6. A listed entity should: (a) have and disclose a process for periodically evaluating the performance of the board, its committees and individual directors; and (b) disclose, in relation to each reporting period, whether a performance evaluation was undertaken in the reporting period in accordance with that process. 1.7.

The establishment of measurable diversity objectives is considered annually by the Board. Given the Company’s small size, the Board does not think it is yet appropriate to include measurable objectives in relation to gender. As the Company grows and requires more employees, the Company will continue to review this policy and amend as appropriate. As at 31 December 2020, 14% of all employees were female. There are no senior executives or female directors on the Board. Note: Senior executives are defined as the company’s key management personnel, excluding the non-executive directors. The Company does not have in place a formal process for evaluation of the Board, its committees, and individual directors. However, evaluation of the Board is carried out on a continuing and informal basis. The Company will put a formal process in place as and when the level of operations of the Company justifies this. Performance objectives and business plans for the company are set at least annually in line with Diatreme’s business strategy. The board monitors performance against plan and on this basis monitors and assesses the performance of the Chief Executive Officer The process in place for monitoring senior executive performance is based on explicit role accountabilities encompassing regular systematic performance |

Performance evaluation of senior executives has taken place in the financial year and is in accordance with the process as set out above. The board itself acts as the nomination committee rather than having a separate committee constituted for that purpose. The directors believe that this is appropriate in light of the size of the board and the particular circumstances of the company. The nominations process involves working within a formal procedure for the nomination, selection, appointment and re-election of directors. The size and composition of the board and its mix of skills and capabilities is expected to change as Diatreme delivers on its strategy and as the company evolves. The board, as a whole, aims to ensure that it always has an appropriate diversity of experience and expertise consistent with the objectives of the company and this is continuously reviewed by the board. The Company does not utilise a formal matrix however the skills, experience and expertise of each director, and their respective periods of office, are set out in the Directors’ Report contained within the Annual Report |
