BAT 2548.50p About us Our products How we work Sustainability Investors Media Reporting Careers The Board Governance and guidance The Board of British American Tobacco p.l.c. meets at least six times a year. It comprises the Chairman, two Executive Directors, one Senior Independent Director and seven Non-Executive Directors. All Executive Directors on the Board have one-year rolling service agreements with the Company. Luc Jobin has been Chairman since April 2021. He has a term of appointment of one year only which is considered for renewal around the time of the Company’s Annual General Meeting ('AGM') each year unless terminated earlier by: (1) the Company giving three months’ notice or a discretionary compensation payment in lieu of notice; or (2) by him giving one month’s written notice, with the Company having discretion to make a compensation payment in lieu of such notice. The compensation payment is limited to any fees which are payable for such part of the relevant notice period as the Board does not require him as Chairman to perform his duties. The Non-Executive Directors do not have service contracts with the Company but instead have letters of appointment which are available for inspection at the Company’s registered office. In accordance with the requirements of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the Code), all Non-Executive Directors have terms of appointment of one year only which are considered for renewal around the time of the Company’s AGM. Each Director is then subject to election or re-election by shareholders every year. On termination, at any time, a Non-Executive Director is entitled to any accrued but unpaid Director’s fees but not to any other compensation. No amounts due to a Non-Executive Director are subject to any recovery or withholding arrangements.
