The Company has established an Audit Committee with formally delegated duties and responsibilities. The Audit Committee comprises Nicholas Lyth and Mark Rutledge. The composition of this committee may change over time as the composition of the board changes.
The Audit Committee will determine the terms of engagement of the Company’s auditors and will determine, in consultation with the auditors, the scope of the audit. The Audit Committee will receive and review reports from management and the Company’s auditors relating to the interim and annual accounts and the accounting and internal control systems in use throughout the Company. The Audit Committee will have unrestricted access to the Company’s auditors.
The Remuneration Committee, which comprises Mike Edwards and Mark Rutledge, is responsible for the review and recommendation of the scale and structure of remuneration for senior management, including any bonus arrangements or the award of share options with due regard to the interests of the Shareholders and the performance of the Company.
The Board, which will meet not less than once per month, will ensure that procedures, resources and controls are in place to ensure that AQSE Growth Market Access Rulebook compliance by the Company is operating effectively at all times and that the executive directors are communicating effectively with the Company’s AQSE Corporate Adviser regarding the Company’s ongoing compliance with the AQSE Growth Market Access Rulebook and in relation to all announcements and notifications and potential transactions.
The Company has adopted a share dealing code for dealings in securities of the Company by the Directors, which is appropriate for a company whose shares are traded on the Access segment of the AQSE Growth Market. This will constitute the Company’s share dealing policy for the purpose of compliance with UK Legislation including UK MAR and Rule 4.1 of the AQSE Growth Market Access Rulebook. It should be noted that the insider dealing legislation set out in the Criminal Justice Act 1993, as well as provisions relating to market abuse, will apply to the Company and dealings in Ordinary Shares. The Ordinary Shares are freely transferable and there are no restrictions on transfer.
The Company has implemented an anti-bribery and corruption policy and also implemented appropriate procedures to ensure that the Board, employees, and consultants comply with the UK Bribery Act 2010.
The Directors have established financial controls and reporting procedures, which are considered appropriate given the size of and structure of the Company. These controls will be reviewed in the light of any acquisition and adjusted accordingly.
Mike Edwards and Nicholas Lyth are directors of Phoenix Digital Assets PLC and a number of the
members of the advisory board are also advisers to Phoenix Digital Assets PLC. The investment policy
of Phoenix Digital Assets PLC is to invest in non-fungible tokens and other digital assets whereas the business model of the Company is markedly different: it is to engage with and help develop companies with DeFi technologies and projects. Whilst such technologies and projects may utilise non-fungible tokens, they would not form part of the Company’s core investment strategy. As such, Mark Rutledge, the Company’s independent director, do not consider that Mike Edwards and Nicholas Lyth have a conflict of interest but to the extent any such conflict does arise Mike Edwards and Nicholas Lyth will recuse themselves from decision making regarding the conflicted matter.
