Board Practices
At every annual general meeting, as near as possible to, but not less than, one third of the directors
(excluding any Executive director appointed after the conclusion of the preceding annual general
meeting, the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Managing Director) are required to
retire from office but are eligible for re-election. The directors to retire are those who have been longest in
office since their last election, or as between directors who have been in office for an equal length of time
since their last election, in the absence of agreement, determined by lot. In addition, the appointment of
any director appointed since the last annual general meeting will be required to be confirmed. Any
director so appointed will also retire at the meeting and be eligible for re-election.
