REMUNERATION REPORT

This remuneration report outlines the philosophy, policy and details of the reward elements for the remuneration of Executive Directors/Officers, Executives and Non-Executive Directors of Tongaat Hulett. The reward philosophy has remained consistent with that previously approved at past annual general meetings (AGMs) in the non-binding advisory vote by shareholders, as required by King III. This will again be applied at the next AGM, in support of continued good governance.

It ensures alignment of the remuneration strategy and policy with the overall business strategy, desired company culture, shareholders’ interests and the sustainable commercial well-being of the business.

The committee is also responsible for, amongst others, considering and making recommendations to the Board on the remuneration policy and on the quantum, overseeing succession planning and retention, structure and composition of remuneration packages of executive directors and senior executives. In addition, it reviews general salary increases for management and the operation of the company’s management incentive schemes.
