Corporate Governance continued
Directors’ dealings:
To ensure that there is no conflict of interest or threat to the independence of Board members, the directors are required to declare any and all
interests in contracts entered into by them and the Group. Dealings in securities by directors, senior managers and designated employees with
access to management reports or price sensitive information are controlled and need to be authorised for clearance by the Chairman. No trading
is allowed during closed periods or when information that could affect the share price is not yet disclosed to the public. Any trading done by
directors of the Group or subsidiary companies, prescribed officers, or the Company Secretary is announced on SENS.

Due to the sensitivity and importance of remuneration, it is specifically managed by a separate Remuneration Committee assisted by the human
resources department. The Remuneration Committee consists of three independent non-executive directors and the chair of the committee is not the
chairman of the Board. The main responsibility of the committee is to approve the remuneration of the executive Board members and any significant
adjustments to employee remuneration. The executive directors suggest the remuneration of the non-executive directors remain unchanged and this is
submitted to shareholders at the AGM for approval by special resolution. The Remuneration and Nomination committee is combined.
The current salaries are limited by the financial constraints within the Company. Once the profit and cash flow situations have been resolved the
salaries will be reviewed and aligned to market value.
Actual executive directors’ remuneration paid is set out in the table below:
