Board Committee Changes
In order to achieve improved alignment with the Group’s existing corporate governance framework
at a regional level and to further enhance reporting and reduce duplication, a review of the
Company’s Board Committees has resulted in the removal of the Company’s Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) Committee with effect from 28 April 2016. The matters reserved for the CSR
Committee will be absorbed by the Board and the Audit Committee (as appropriate) in due course.
The membership of the Company’s Audit Committee (all comprising Non-Executive Directors) is as
follows with effect from 28 April 2016:
Audit Committee
Christine Morin-Postel (Chair)
Gerry Murphy
Ann Godbehere
Kieran Poynter
Pedro Malan (new appointee)
In addition, the membership of the Remuneration Committee (all comprising Non-Executive
Directors) has also been reviewed and the membership is as follows with effect from 28 April 2016:
Remuneration Committee
Kieran Poynter (Chair)
Ann Godbehere
Dimitri Panayotopoulos
Sue Farr (new appointee)
Savio Kwan (new appointee)
Further, all the Non-Executive Directors and the Chairman, Richard Burrows, continue as members
of the Nominations Committee.
Retirement of Karen de Segundo and Richard Tubb: disclosures required by section 430(2B),

Further to the announcement by the Company on 25 February 2016, Karen de Segundo and Richard

of the Annual General Meeting on 27 April 2016 (the “Retiring Directors”).
As required by section 430(2B) of the Companies Act 2006, we can confirm that no remuneration or
