Nothing in this letter shall betaken to exclude or vary the terms of the articles of association as they apply to you as a NonExecutive Director of the Company.  \n2 The continuation of the Appointment is subject to your re-election by the Company’s shareholders atthe Company’s Annual General Meeting (the AGM) . Under the Company’s articles of association, atthe Company’s AGM each year all Directors must retire but are eligible for re-election. Current UK corporate governance guidelines mean that the overall term for a Non-Executive Director would not normally exceed nine years.  \n3 The Company may terminate the Appointment with immediate effect if you:  \n(a) commit a material breach of your obligations under this letter; or  \n(b) commit any serious or repeated breach or non-observance of your obligations to the Company (which include the obligation not to breach your duties to the Company, whether statutory, fiduciary or common law); or  \n(c) are guilty of any fraud or dishonesty or act in a manner which, in the opinion of the Company acting reasonably, brings or is likely to bring you or the Company into disrepute or is materially adverse to the interests of the Company; or  \n(d) are convicted of any arrestable criminal offence other than an offence under road traffic legislation in the UK or elsewhere for which a fine or non-custodial penalty is imposed; or  \n(e) are declared bankrupt or have made an arrangement with or for the benefit of your creditors; or  \n(f) are disqualified from acting as a director.  \n4 You may terminate the Appointment by giving not less than three months’ notice in writing to the Company.  \n5 On termination of the Appointment, you shall at the request of the Company resign from your office as a Non-Executive Director of the Company.  \nDuties  \n6 As a Non-Executive Director, you have the same general legal responsibilities to the Company as anyother Director. You are expected to perform your duties (whether statutory, fiduciary or common law) faithfully, diligently and to a standard commensurate with the functions of your role and your knowledge, skills and experience.  \n7 You will exercise your powers in your role as a Non-Executive Director having regard to the relevant obligations under prevailing law and regulation, including the Companies Act 2006, the UK Corporate Governance Code and associated guidance and the UK Listing Authority’s Listing, Prospectus, and Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

You will be advised where these differ from requirements in the UK.  \n8 You will have particular regard to the general duties of directors as set out in Part 10, Chapter 2 of the Companies Act 2006, including the duty to promote the success of the Company:  \n“A director of a company must act in the way he considers, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole, and in doing so have regard (amongst other matters) to –  \n(a) the likely consequences of any decision in the long term,  \n(b) the interests ofthe company’s employ","cbCaig38IaKHZLMX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaig38IaKHZLMX","pdf",260447,7,"English","# Appointment\n## Contract for services and articles of association\n## Re-election and term\n## Termination and director notice\n# Duties\n## Legal responsibilities and expected performance\n## Compliance with governance and exchange rules\n# Time commitment, other directorships and business interests","[{\"question\":\"Is the appointment letter considered a contract of employment or for services?\",\"answer\":\"On acceptance, the letter constitutes a contract for services and not a contract of employment.\"},{\"question\":\"What conditions affect the continuation of the Non-Executive Director appointment?\",\"answer\":\"Continuation depends on compliance with the company’s articles of association and re-election by shareholders at the AGM.\"},{\"question\":\"Under what circumstances can the Company terminate the appointment immediately?\",\"answer\":\"The Company may terminate immediately for material breach, serious or repeated breach, fraud or dishonesty, conduct likely to bring disrepute, certain criminal convictions, bankruptcy/creditor arrangements, or director disqualification.\"},{\"question\":\"How much time is expected for the Non-Executive Director role?\",\"answer\":\"A basic commitment is equivalent to not less than 15 days per annum, including time for board meetings, the AGM, strategy review, and annual performance review processes, with possible additional ad hoc time.\"}]","Letter of Appointment of Non-Executive Directors - Appointment Terms - Strictly Confidential | PDF"]
