The Quoted Companies Alliance Corporate Governance Code (2018) (the “QCA Code”)
The Board recognises the importance of good corporate governance and have chosen to apply the QCA Code. The QCA Code was developed by the Quoted Companies Alliance (the “QCA”), the independent membership organisation that champions the interests of small to mid-size quoted companies, in consultation with a number of significant institutional small company investors, as a suitable corporate governance code applicable to AIM companies.
As stated by the QCA, good corporate governance is about “having the right people (in the right roles), working together, and doing the right things to deliver value for shareholders as a whole over the medium to long-term”. This is achieved through a series of decisions made by the Board, which needs to be kept dynamic, diverse and engender a consistent corporate culture throughout the Iofina group of companies (the “Group”).
Our values are based on “Doing the right thing” for our customers, people, suppliers and shareholders. The Board believes this is vital to creating a sustainable, growing business and is a key responsibility of the Group. This culture supports the Group’s objectives to grow the business through acquiring and retaining customers. It is the Board’s job to ensure that the Group is managed for the long-term benefit of all shareholders, with effective and efficient decision-making. Corporate governance is an important part of that job, reducing risk and adding value to our business.
The Board has adopted the QCA Code in line with the London Stock Exchange’s recent changes to the AIM Rules requiring all AIM-quoted issuers to adopt and comply with a recognised corporate governance code. To see how we address the key governance principles defined in the QCA Code please click the ‘Iofina QCA Code’ link below.
Further information on compliance with the QCA Code will be provided in the Group’s next annual report.
The Board has established audit and remuneration committees.
The audit committee receives and reviews reports from the management and the external auditors of the Group relating to the annual and interim accounts and the accounting and internal control systems of the Group. The audit committee has unrestricted access to the Group’s external auditors. The audit committee of the Company, is comprised of Lance J. Baller, J. Frank Mermoud, and Mary Fallin Christensen, and is chaired by Lance J. Baller.
The remuneration committee sets and reviews the scale and structure of the Executive Directors’ and senior management’s remuneration and the terms of their service contracts with due regard to the interests of shareholders. The remuneration committee of the Company, is comprised of Lance J. Baller, J. Frank Mermoud, and Mary Fallin Christensen, and is chaired by Mary Fallin Christensen.
The remuneration and terms and conditions of appointment of the Non-Executive Directors are set by the board. No director or member of the senior management is permitted to participate in discussions or decisions concerning his own remuneration.
The Company has adopted a model code for dealing in Ordinary Shares by Directors and employees which is appropriate for an AIM-quoted company.
