proxy report 28/06/2018
Item 2: Approve the remuneration report The structure is not weighted more heavily towards long-term performance. Alignment with performance has not been definitively demonstrated given that 40% of the bonus is
determined at the discretion of the remuneration committee. Incentive pay was excessive during the year. The maximum incentive pay exceeds ECGS guidelines.
Items 12 and 13: Appoint the auditors and authorise the board to determine the auditors' remuneration The auditor's tenure exceeds our tenure limit of 10 years. Ernst & Young LLP has been the Group's statutory external auditor since before the Group was listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1994. The three year aggregate non-audit fees exceed ECGS guidelines. Both of these points may undermine the independence of the auditors.
