Under the terms of the Relationship Agreement, Joanne and Octavius Black together reserve the right to appoint one director to the Board of the Company in so far as they hold, in aggregate, 20 per cent or more of the total voting rights in the Company.
The Board recognises the rights of Joanne to board representation and considers that the involvement of the Company’s majority shareholder in the Board’s considerations under the ongoing strategic review to be of relevance and practical benefit to the Company.
