Kendig, CPA, Retirement Administrator Staff Contact: Conor Hinds, Supervising Accountant SUBJECT: Receipt and Filing of the Equity Investment Manager Annual Proxy Voting – RECEIVE AND FILE Recommended Action 1. Receive and File. Fiscal and Financial Impacts There are no fiscal impacts to receiving the annual investment manager proxy voting reports as an informational item. Background and Discussion Prior to February 2003 FCERA had contracted with International Shareholder Services (ISS) to provide proxy voting services in order to exercise the right on behalf of the Board to respond timely and accurately to domestic and international proxy voting requests with the focus on maximizing shareholder value. At the February 5, 2003 Board of Retirement meeting, the Board voted unanimously to allow the ISS contract to expire and to allocate the responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers as these services were already available under the normal management fee structure. The Board’s decision saves approximately $50,000 annually. As a result of the shift in responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers, the Investment Policy Statement was revised and now states the Board’s authority in this area and sets the expectation for the proxy voting process by the investment managers. In keeping with the Board’s Investment Policy Statement, FCERA staff has obtained the proxy voting records of our current domestic and international equity managers. Attached for your review is the most recent proxy voting reports for the following equity managers: AJO, Artisan, Mondrian Emerging, Mondrian International, PIMCO Stocks Plus, Research Affiliates and T. Rowe Price. Attachment 1. Proxy Voting Report for domestic and international equity managers.

December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry.

    Annual Report and Accounts 06 Annual Review and Summary Financial Statement and Directors’ Report and Accounts 2006 WorldReginfo - 98675577-a5f8-41aa-ac01-37c1b8bcb2da About this combined Report The format of our reporting has been changed to accommodate the inclusion, for the first time, of an Operating and Financial Review (OFR). In preparing the OFR, we have sought to take into account, where considered appropriate, the best practice set out in the UK Accounting Standards Board’s ‘Reporting Statement: Operating and Financial Review’. We have responded to the spirit of the OFR by offering shareholders a balanced and comprehensive analysis of our current business and describing the significant industry trends that are likely to influence our future prospects. For the first time, we have published our Key Performance Indicators, some other important Business Measures and the Group’s Key Risk Factors. We have also attempted to avoid having too much information in one publication. Our corporate website bat.com has a wealth of material about the Group and, in May 2007, we plan to publish our latest Social Report, detailing progress during 2006 on a range of commitments and actions. We will carefully consider the structure and content of our future reporting in the light of developments in the field and the advice and comments we receive about this publication. The full content of this combined Report is under this flap. Leave it open as a reference to find your way to the different topics covered. Cautionary Statement: the Operating and Financial Review and certain other sections of this document contain forward looking statements which are subject to risk factors associated with, among other things, the economic and business circumstances occurring from time to time in the countries and markets in which the Group operates.
