Corporate Governance ReportCompliance with the Combined Code on Corporate GovernanceThe Board supports the ideals of the Combined Code on Corporate Governance (the “Code”), issued by the Financial Services Authority in June 2008. This statement describes how the Company applies the principles of the Code and the Company’s compliance with the specific provisions of the Code. The principals set out in the Code cover four areas: the Board, Directors’ remuneration, accountability and audit and relations with shareholders. With the exception of the Directors remuneration (which is dealt with separately in the Directors’ Remuneration Report) the following section sets out how the Board has applied such principles.
The Board considers that it has complied with provisions of the Code throughout the year ending 30 June 2009, unless otherwise indicated below.
