The Board recognises that there has been a substantial vote against Resolution 3 (reappointment of the external auditors). We are aware that our major shareholder in South Africa has recently adopted a policy which strictly requires them to vote against the appointment of an external audit firm which has been in post for ten years or more. This policy does not reflect the regulatory position in the UK where the Board has followed best practice, the CMA Regulations and the EU Audit Regulation by tendering the external audit in 2015. Following a robust tender process, the Board concluded that it was in the Company's and shareholders' best interests to reappoint KPMG. New requirements implemented by the FRC in 2016 will require the Company to tender the external audit no later than 30 September 2020 and, given the maximum tenure that an auditor can serve under the rules, KPMG will not be invited to tender at that time. The Board will consider this matter further in the coming weeks.
In addition, the Board recognises that the significant vote against Resolution 14 (authority to allot shares) is a reflection of, and in accordance with, prevailing institutional guidelines in South Africa, which differ from those generally applied in the UK by companies with primary listings on the London Stock Exchange. The Board notes that the authority granted today by shareholders falls within the Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines.
