The board will also review and amend these guidelines as it's deems necessary or appropriate. On behalf of the Company's shareholders, the Board is responsible for overseeing the management of the business and affairs of the Company. The Board acts as the ultimate decision-making body of the Company, except on those matters reserved to or shared with the shareholders of the Company under the laws of England.

 

1. Director Qualifications

In choosing Directors the company is seeking individuals with a very high integrity, business savvy, shareholder orientation and genuine interest in the Company. The Board does not have limits on the number of terms a Director may serve. The Board does not have any retirement or tenure policies that would limit the ability of a director to be nominated for reelection. The Board of Directors and Shareholders are responsible for nominating directors for election or reelection.

 

2. Director Responsibilities

The basic responsibility of the directors is to exercise their business judgment to act in what they reasonably believe to be in the best interest of the Company and it's shareholders, and to conduct themselves in accordance with their duties of care and loyalty.
