IGO Interactive Annual Report 2019
DIRECTORS’ REPORT—REMUNERATION REPORT 30 JUNE 2019 Whilst IGO does not have a written policy stating a minimum shareholding in IGO shares for Directors, a written guideline on this subject was adopted by the Company in FY18. The guideline states, that in order to achieve a greater alignment with shareholder interests, Non-executive Directors are encouraged to hold shares in the Company. IGO is committed to achieving greater diversity throughout the business and this includes the membership of the Board of Directors. To this end, the Board of Directors acknowledges that each current or future Non-executive Director may have different personal circumstances. As such, no minimum shareholding requirement has been set in order to maximise the Company’s opportunity to achieve the broadest range of diversity of directors on the Board. Accordingly, Non-executive Directors are encouraged to acquire and hold shares in IGO commensurate with their personal circumstances.
