RESOLUTION 4
Remuneration of Auditor
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a
company’s auditor is automatically re-appointed at an
annual meeting of shareholders of the company unless
there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor
not to be re-appointed. PricewaterhouseCoopers will
automatically be re-appointed as the auditor of the
company at the Annual Meeting.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that
the fees and expenses of PricewaterhouseCoopers
as auditor are to be fixed in such a manner as the
company determines at the annual meeting.
The Board proposes that, consistent with commercial
practice, the auditor’s fees should be fixed by the
directors. Authority for the directors to fix the fees and
expenses of the auditor is a resolution at each annual
meeting of shareholders of the company.
