assess the functioning of individual members of Board and executive officers and report the results of such assessment to the Board.

Composition of the Committee

The Nomination Committee consists of myself, as Chair, and Maria Perrella. The membership of the committee will be reviewed on a regular basis, particularly in light of any changes to the wider composition of the Board, and any changes announced in due course.

The Committee has discretion to invite members of the executive management of the Company to its meetings as required and considers the input and recommendation of executive management to be critical to ensuring the Committee’s activities reflect the ongoing needs of the Company. Therefore executive management were invited to present to the committee at the appropriate junctures during the year.

During the year under review, the Committee’s focus was on:

On an ongoing basis, the Committee carefully considers the structure of the Board and executive management and ensures that the Board and executive management have an appropriate balance of skills, expertise and talent. The Committee and the Board are committed to ensuring that appointments are based on merit and objective criteria aligned with the Company’s needs, and that every effort is made to ensure equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of the appointment process.

Advisors to the Committee

None.

This can include, for example, making adjustments to assist staff and ensuring that, to the extent possible, all relevant perspectives are included in decision making on an ongoing basis.

The Company will keep the requirement for a formal diversity policy under review and will give serious consideration to the adoption of a policy, tailored to the nature of the
