Corporate Governance

The Company has procedures for the disclosure and review of any conflicts of interest, or potential conflicts of interest, which the Directors may have. The Board members are asked to disclose any conflicts of interest at each scheduled Board meeting. Each Director is aware of their responsibility to avoid conflicts of interest and to disclose any conflict or potential conflict of interest to the Board. A Director who has a personal interest in a matter that is considered at a meeting of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Remuneration Committee shall not attend that meeting (unless the chair of the Board, the Audit Committee or the Remuneration Committee, as the case may be, determines that such person’s presence at the meeting is required for presentation of the relevant transaction) or vote on that matter, unless a majority of the respective forum has a personal interest in the matter as well. If a majority of the Board has a personal interest in the transaction, then shareholders’ approval is also required. The authorisation of a conflict matter, and the terms of authorisation, may be reviewed at any time by the Board. The Board considers that these procedures are operating effectively.

The Company encourages the participation of both institutional and private investors. The Chief Financial Officer, Mr. Elad Even-Chen, meets regularly with institutional investors, usually in regard to the issue of half and full year results. Communication with private individuals is maintained through the Annual General Meeting and the Company’s annual and interim reports. The chairmen of the Company’s audit, remuneration and nomination committees are made available to answer questions at the Company’s Annual General Meetings. In addition, further details on the strategy and performance of the Company can be found on this website. Regular updates are provided to the Board on meetings with shareholders and analysts, and broker’s opinions are made available to the Board. Non-executive directors are available to meet major shareholders, if required. Investors are encouraged to contact Owen Jones, our Head of Investor Relations, at [email protected].
