OUR COMMITMENT<br />

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE REPORT<br />

The <strong>Sun</strong> <strong>International</strong> group remains committed to compliance with the regulatory requirements of all the countries in which it operates and<br />

particularly, at an enterprise level, to sound corporate governance principles. The group endorsed the application of the principles recommended in the King<br />

Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2002 (King II) and has been effectively implementing and reporting on a spectrum of governance<br />

principles, underpinned by the values of responsibility, accountability, fairness and transparency.<br />

STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE<br />

The board has satisfied itself on the extent of the company’s compliance with King II and with the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, which is<br />

dealt with under appropriate sections throughout this report.<br />

The group is pleased to report that there have been no material instances of non-compliance during the year under review. Whilst the board is satisfied<br />

with its level of compliance with applicable governance and regulatory requirements, it recognises that its practices can always be improved, and<br />

accordingly the board has and will continuously review the company’s governance framework against governance best practices.<br />

KING III<br />

The board welcomed the introduction of the King Report on<br />

Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2009 (King III) that<br />

became effective from 1 March 2010. The group conducted an<br />

extensive review of the King III principles and the company’s<br />

existing governance practices and has elected to report against<br />

the King III principles, as the group substantively complies with or<br />

will comply with the majority of principles within the forthcoming<br />

year. In instances where the group has elected not to apply some<br />

of the principles, then these exceptions are explained under the<br />

appropriate sections throughout this report.<br />
