Corporate Governance

The Company’s securities are traded on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange (“AIM”). The Company has applied the requirements of the Quoted Companies Alliance (“QCA”) corporate governance guidelines for AIM companies. Due to the size and nature of its current business the Company has not adopted the UK Corporate Governance Code in its entirety. The Company have complied with the QCA corporate guidelines where practical; instances of noncompliance have been highlighted below.

In addition, the Company has an established code of conduct for dealings in the shares of the Company by directors.

John Teeling, in his capacity as Non-Executive Chairman has assumed responsibility for ensuring that the Company has appropriate corporate governance standards in place and that these requirements are communicated and applied.

The Board currently consists of three directors: Non-Executive Chairman; Financial Director (and Company Secretary); and one Non-Executive Director. This is not in compliance with the QCA Code which requires at least two independent non-executive directors. However the Board considers that appropriate oversight of the Company is provided by the currently constituted Board having regard to the current size and resources of the Company.

The 10 principles set out in the QCA Code are listed below, with an explanation of how Arkle Resources applies each of the principles and the reason for any aspect of non-compliance.
