APPIX A - Principal Risks and Uncertainties

The following description of the principal risks and uncertainties that the Company faces is extracted from the 2018 Annual Report (pages 30 - 34):

Risks and uncertainties

The Board acknowledges that it must be prepared to take a certain level of risk if the Group is to be successful in meeting its objectives, such risks are carefully considered, assessed and monitored to ensure they are proportionate and clearly aligned to the Group's strategic goals.

The Board has carried out a robust assessment of the principal and emerging risks and uncertainties which might prevent the Group from achieving its goal of long-term growth in revenue and shareholder returns.

The likelihood of risks actually materialising, the potential significance of the risks or of the scope of any potential harm to the Group's business, prospects, results of operation and financial position are first discussed, debated and challenged by senior management and the Group Risk Committee, then by the Audit & Risk Committee, and then presented to the Board identified as follows:

 
 
 
                High      MEDIUM      CRITICAL (HIGH 
                                          RISK) 
 
 
                Low        LOW         HIGH IMPACT 
 LIKELIHOOD                             (LOW RISK) 
                      -----------  ----------------- 
 
                         Moderate        Critical 
                                  IMPACT 
 

The Board has agreed that the top risks to JTC will be presented in the Annual Report and Accounts as the "Principal Risks".

The risk taxonomy is represented by a two level architecture:

   --      Level 1 is the primary overarching risk elements, containing six components 
   --      Level 2 represents the cohorts of specific risks that JTC is exposed to.

Principal Risks and uncertainties

The Principal Risks JTC is exposed to are separately assessed and recorded on the Group Risk Register and Group Risk Assessment Matrix. The Chief Risk Officer reports to the Audit & Risk Committee, presenting the Group Risk Register and Group Risk Assessment Matrix, providing an assessment of the risk status based on the controls and mitigation.

The Principal risks and uncertainties, their mitigation and the evolution of risk during the year are set out below. They are consistent with those reported in the IPO Prospectus, although now include the potential impact of a disorderly Brexit.
