Share Capital Information

Information regarding our major shareholders
– significant shareholders over 3% (insofar as the company has been notified)

As at 1 November 2022 the total issued share capital of the company is 515,249,550.

The shareholder positions shown above are accurate according to analysis of the Company’s Link Asset Share Portal, notified TR-1 forms and known issues of shares as at the date stated for each shareholder. These shareholdings may differ from those shown on external electronic platforms, which are based solely on shareholder TR-1 disclosures, because (i) fund managers may hold shares in multiple separate funds where part holdings are considered below disclosure requirement levels (ii) fund managers may not hold all of the voting rights of the shares (iii) some fund managers have exemption status under EU rules not to disclose TR-1 holdings under 5% (rather than 3%) and (iv) external electronic platforms may not be up-to-date with new shareholder positions.

Governance

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has responsibility for, among other things, the monitoring of the integrity of the financial statements of the company and its group and the involvement of the group’s auditors in that process. It focuses in particular on compliance with accounting policies and ensuring that an effective system of external audit and financial control is maintained, including considering the scope of the annual audit and the extent of the non-audit work undertaken by external auditors and advising on the appointment of external auditors. The ultimate responsibility for reviewing and approving the annual report and accounts and the half-yearly reports remains with the Board.

The Audit Committee meets at least two times a year at the appropriate times in the financial reporting and audit cycle. The members of the Audit Committee are Dan Maling, who acts as Chairman of the Audit Committee, and Greg Hancock. The Group’s external auditor is PKF Littlejohn LLP. The role of external auditor last went to tender in 2018. The Audit Committee closely monitors the level of audit and non-audit services that they provide. 

Having assessed the performance, objectivity and independence of the auditors, the Audit Committee recommended the reappointment of PKF Littlejohn LLP as auditors to the Company at the 2021 AGM, and the resolution to approve such reappointment was duly passed.

Remuneration Committee

The Remuneration Committee reviews the performance of the CEO and makes recommendations to the Board on matters relating to his remuneration and terms of employment.

The committee also makes recommendations to the Board on proposals for the granting of share awards and other equity incentives pursuant to any share award scheme or equity incentive scheme in operation from time to time. The Remuneration Committee meets at least one a year. The aggregate fees paid to the Directors in any year is limited by the Articles and this aggregate amount can only be changed by an ordinary resolution. 

The members of the Remuneration Committee are David Clarke, Greg Hancock and Dan Maling.

Nominations Committee

The Board as a whole is responsible for the appointment of Non-Executive Directors. The Board does not currently believe it is necessary to have a separate nominations committee at this time. The requirement for a nominations committee will be considered on an ongoing basis.
