In addition, at last year’s AGM the Directors gave an undertaking that they would each stand for re-election at the next following AGM if the additional allotment authority was used in connection with a rights issue. With the exception of Jonathan Taylor, all Directors in place as at the date of the AGM in 2012 will therefore offer themselves for re-election at the 2013 AGM. Jonathan Taylor has advised the Board that he will not stand for re-election and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of the 2013 AGM. The Nomination Committee has reviewed the performance of each Director now standing for election or re-election and, having considered the complementary skills and expertise brought by each to the Board, believes that they continue to make an effective contribution and to demonstrate commitment to their roles. The Board as a whole is content that each Non-executive Director offering himself or herself for election or re-election is independent in character and judgement and that there are no relationships or circumstances likely to affect that independence. 3.

    The Stanford Natural Gas Initiative Natural Gas in East Africa: Domestic and Regional Use Usua U. Amanam Pre-symposium white paper for: Reducing Energy Poverty with Natural Gas: Changing Political, Business, and Technology Paradigms May 9 & 10, 2017 Stanford University, CA Natural Gas in East Africa: Domestic and Regional Use Usua U. Amanam* April 2017 1 Introduction The world’s natural gas demand is projected to grow by 50% [1] by 2040, with much of that driven by developing regions like non-OECD Asia and Africa [2]. Africa’s natural gas demand, in particular, is anticipated to grow by more than a factor of two [3]. Be- cause natural gas is relatively cheap and abundant as a result of advances in technology, it plays a large role in shaping how countries plan to meet their rising energy needs. East Africa is a region that has benefited greatly from improvements in exploration and drilling techniques [4]. The large discoveries of natural gas in offshore Mozambique and Tanzania will contribute to meeting the rapidly growing worldwide energy demand while also serving as an effective energy solution in a region whose per capita power consump- tion is less than that needed to continuously power a 50-watt lightbulb [5]. Figure 1: Africa’s natural gas consumption by end-use sector, 2012-2040 (trillion cubic feet) [3] . Both countries stand to benefit and can become regional energy hubs1 if the gas and money generated from fields is properly allocated and invested. Since 2000, two out of every three dollars put into the Sub-Saharan Africa energy sector have been committed to the development of resources for export [5].

  • What Is the Contribution to the UK Economy of Extractive Industries In
    EIS 43 Written evidence submitted by London Mining Network (LMN) 1. Summary The operations of UK-listed and UK-funded mining companies are causing severe damage and creating a legacy of bitterness. Neither engagement with mining companies nor voluntary initiatives such as EITI are in themselves sufficient to hold mining companies accountable: stricter regulation is necessary. We therefore recommend that either the Financial Conduct Authority or some other statutory body be given the power, responsibility, funding and institutional capacity to enforce good conduct on all UK-listed extractives companies, including those trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Alternative Investment Market. This must extend beyond matters of financial concern to shareholders and include compliance with human rights and environmental standards. 2. Introduction London Mining Network (LMN) is an alliance of eighteen member organizations and twelve observer organizations concerned about the negative impacts of UK-listed and UK-funded mining companies. Our network contains organizations and individuals with many years’ experience working with communities directly and negatively affected by the operations of mining companies listed on the London Stock Exchange or funded by London-based financial institutions. This submission is limited to matters of which our network has direct experience or other expert knowledge, so does not answer every question. We would be happy to testify further in oral hearings. 3. What are the corporate governance concerns raised by the number of extractive industries companies listed in the UK? Are there reputational risks for the UK and UK financial institutions in being a centre for such businesses? LMN notes that corporate governance extends to the wider interests of all those affected by a company’s activities and involves adherence to internationally recognised human rights and environmental standards.
