Corporate Governance
The Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company, subject to the directions of the Board.
The CEO is supported by the non-executive directors, a contracted financial controller who is responsible for the financial control, management, accounting and reporting functions of the Company and an in-country manager to assist with operations.
As a Company with a Standard Listing, the Company is not required to comply with the provisions of the Corporate Governance Code, which forms a key part of the corporate governance regime for England and Wales, the Company’s country of incorporation and registration.
In the interests of observing best practice on corporate governance, however, the Company will observe the requirements of the QCA Code, insofar as is appropriate having regard to the size and nature of the Company and the composition of the Board. As at the date of this Document, the Company is, and at the date of Admission will be, in compliance with the QCA Code.
The Company has adopted a share dealing code that complies with the requirements of the Market Abuse Regulation. All persons discharging managerial responsibilities (comprising only the Directors as at the date of this Document) shall comply with the share dealing code with effect from Admission and the Board will be responsible for taking reasonable steps to ensure such compliance.
The Company has established an audit committee (the “Audit Committee”) and a remuneration committee (the “Remuneration Committee”) with formally delegated duties and responsibilities.
