Independent Directors
Under NYSE listing rules applicable to US companies, independent Directors must comprise a majority of the Board of Directors. The NYSE rules include detailed tests for determining Director independence while the Combined Code prescribes a more general standard for determining Director independence. The Combined Code requires a company’s Board to assess director independence by affirmatively concluding that the Director is independent of management and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with the exercise of independent judgement.

The ICI Board does not have a majority of independent Directors. However, the Board includes a balance of Executive Directors and independent NEDs such that no individual or group can dominate the Board’s decision-making and the Company complies with the Combined Code.

The Board of ICI has assessed the independence of the NEDs against the criteria set out in the Combined Code and the NYSE corporate governance rules, save that in the case of the latter, the Board has not sought to enquire into the interests of Directors’ family members other than their spouse. On this basis the Board has concluded that all NEDs are independent.
