<strong>Retail</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>Group</strong> <strong>Annual</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

34. Key management personnel compensation (continued)<br />

The maximum aggregate amount of fees that can be paid to non-executive Directors is subject to approval by shareholders at the <strong>Annual</strong><br />

General Meeting. The maximum amount which has been approved by the Company’s shareholders for payment to non-executive Directors is<br />

$400,000. Fees for non-executive Directors are not linked to the performance of the economic entity. However, to align Directors’ interests with<br />

shareholder interests, the Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company and are granted share options.<br />

Policy and Company performance<br />

The salary and fee structures of the Directors and Senior Management were set shortly before the initial public offer of the Company in May 2006<br />

having regard to the comparable salary and fee rates in the industry sector in which the Company operates.<br />

Other than with respect to the appointment of Damien Peters as CFO on 29 May <strong>2007</strong> the Remuneration Committee did not review executive<br />

remuneration packages during the course of the fi nancial year. As such no recommendation was made by the Committee to alter the<br />

remuneration structure of any Director or member of senior management.<br />

The Remuneration Committee intends to review bi-annually and to measure Director and senior management performance by reference to the<br />

Company’s performance, executive performance and comparable information from industry sectors.<br />

The performance of Directors and executives will be measured against agreed criteria and will be based predominantly on the forecast growth of<br />

the economic entity’s profi ts and shareholders’ value. It is proposed that all incentives will be linked to predetermined performance criteria.<br />

The Board may, however, exercise its discretion in relation to approving incentives and options, and can recommend changes to the Committee’s<br />

recommendations. Any changes must be referential to measurable performance criteria. The policy is designed to attract high caliber executives<br />

and reward them for performance that results in both short and long-term growth in shareholder wealth. The Company has the ability to, as part<br />

of the remuneration of Directors and executives to allocate and grant options.<br />
