, reappointment, or removal as well as monitoring their objectivity and independence. The audit committee also reviews and approves the fees paid to our external auditors and independent registered public accounting firm and determines whether the fee levels for non-audit services, individually and in aggregate, relative to the audit fee are appropriate so as not to undermine their independence.
Remuneration Committee
The members of the remuneration committee are two of our non-executive directors, Bali Muralidhar and Elliott Levy. Each of these non-executive director members is a non-employee director as defined in Rule 166-3 under the Exchange Act and an outside director as defined in Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Dr. Muralidhar serves as chair of the remuneration committee. Our remuneration committee reviews, among other things, the performance of the executive officers and sets the scale and structure of their remuneration and the basis of their service agreements with due regard to the interests of the shareholders. It is a policy of the remuneration committee that no individual participates in discussions or decisions concerning his or her own remuneration.
Nominating and Governance Committee
The members of the nominating and governance committee are Hugh Griffith and two of our non-executive directors, Andrew Kay and Bali Muralidhar. Andrew Kay serves as chair of the nominating and governance committee and oversees the evaluation of the board of directors’ performance. The nominating and governance committee meets at least twice a year and reviews the structure, size and composition of the board of directors, supervises the selection and appointment process of directors, making recommendations to the board of directors with regard to any changes and using an external search consultancy if considered appropriate. For new appointments, the nominating and governance committee makes a final recommendation to the board of directors, and the board of directors has the opportunity to meet the candidate prior to approving the appointment. Once appointed, the nominating and governance committee oversees the induction of new directors and provides the appropriate training to the board of directors during the course of the year in order to ensure that they have the knowledge and skills necessary to operate effectively. The nominating and governance committee is also responsible for annually evaluating the performance of the board of directors, both on an individual basis and for the board of directors as a whole, taking into account such factors as attendance record, contribution during board of directors meetings and the amount of time that has been dedicated to board matters during the course of the year.
