Full Board or Committee papers will be sent to all Directors or
Committee members at least three days before the intended date of a
Board Meeting or Committee Meeting respectively. Management also
supplies the Board and its Committees with sufficient information and
explanations so as to enable them to make an informed assessment of
financial and other information put before the Board and its Committees

Furthermore, management provides all Board members with monthly
updates which give a balanced and understandable assessment of the

relation to our business and make further enquiries where necessary,

In addition, all Directors have access to the advice and services of
the Company Secretary, a full time employee of the Company, who is
responsible to the Board for ensuring that procedures are followed and

Company Secretary supports the Board by ensuring good information
flow within the Board and is also a source of advice to the Chairman
and to the Board on corporate governance and the implementation
of the CG Code. The Company Secretary has confirmed that she has
taken no less than 15 hours of relevant professional training in 2012.
