What is the role of the nominations committee?

The nominations committee is responsible for identifying relevant talent and nominating all board appointments. We believe it is sensible for the chairman and chief executive to sit on the committee and be fully involved in the process - except when their own re-appointment is discussed.

What did the nominations committee do during the year?

During 2010 the committee met formally on four occasions.The main issues which it discussed were:

• board composition;
• board diversity;
• appointment of additional non-executive directors;
• re-appointment of senior independent director (see page 47 of the Annual Report 2010 for more information);
• chairmanship and membership of board committees; and
• identification of directors' for re-election by shareholders.
