The business for the AGM is:
- Approval of the Minutes of the 2023 Annual General Meeting (and 2023 CEO address);
- CEO Address;
- Acceptance of the Annual Impact Report;
- Election of members of the board;
- Appointment of Independent Accountants; and
- Discussion of a motion to change Article 49 of the Articles of Association. This change would affect the eligibility of Non-Executive Board Members to be re-elected after serving a maximum of 9 years.
The motion is:
To change Article 49 of the Articles of Association from
Non-Executive Board Members may serve three continuous periods of office for a maximum period of 9 years. If a Non-Executive Board Member has served for a continuous period of 9 years they are not permitted to stand for re-election for the period from the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting at which they stood down to the commencement of the next following Annual General Meeting.
To:
Non-Executive Board Members may serve three terms of office, each of three years, for a maximum period of 9 years. After a Non-Executive Board Member has served 9 years, either in one continuous period or where multiple periods of office total 9 years, they may not stand for re-election.
This change aims to balance giving non-executive board members an opportunity to contribute, whilst also refreshing board skills, experience, and perspectives.
We look forward to welcoming you to our AGM!
