Appointment and powers of directors

 
Appointment of Directors

Directors may be appointed by the Company by an Ordinary Resolution of shareholders. The Board may appoint a Director either to fill a vacancy or as an additional Director and in either case whether or not for a fixed term. Any Director so appointed will hold office only until the next following general meeting and will not be taken into account in determining the Directors who are to retire by rotation at such meeting and shall then be eligible for reappointment. If not reappointed at such meeting, such a Director will vacate office at its conclusion. If any such person is not appointed at such meeting, s/he shall retain office until the meeting appoints someone in his or her place or, if s/he does not do so, until the end of the meeting. A Director is not required to hold shares in the capital of the Company. Directors are provided with documentation on the Company and its activities. An appropriate induction is provided for new Directors and ongoing training is provided as and when it may be required.

Retirement by rotation

At the first general meeting after the date of adoption of the Articles and at each subsequent AGM of the Company as near as possible to one-third of the Directors must retire from office by rotation.

Directors' Powers

The business of the Company shall be managed by the Board which may exercise all the powers of the Company whether relating to the management of the business or not. The Company’s Articles detail the specific authorities of the Directors. Copies of the Articles may be obtained from the Company Secretary.
