  2. Remuneration :

    • Advise the Board on remuneration policies and procedures.

Remuneration packages are set at levels intended to attract, retain and motivate high quality executives capable of managing the Company's operations, achieving the Company's strategic objectives and to align their interests with the creation of value for security holders.

    • Executive remuneration and other terms of employment are reviewed annually by the committee with regard to performance, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice.

The Company will endeavour to ensure the Remuneration and Nominations committee is comprised of at least three members, the majority of whom are independent Directors and is chaired by an independent Director.
