Globalworth Real Estate Investments Limited
("Globalworth" or the "Company")
Corporate Governance and Board Committee Changes
Globalworth, the leading office investor in Central and Eastern Europe, announces that, as part of its ongoing streamlining of processes and procedures, the Board has approved the adoption of the QCA Code of Corporate Governance (the "QCA Code") and will report against the QCA Code for the year ending 31 December 2022 onwards. In considering the adoption of the QCA Code, the Board took into account that the majority of AIM listed companies apply the QCA Code and also noted that the QCA's approach to good corporate governance is about ensuring that the board of a company is set up to make robust decisions and manage risk - and making sure "the right people are in the right roles, working together, and doing the right things to deliver value for shareholders as a whole over the medium to long term".
In addition, the Board has resolved to recombine its separate Audit Committee and Risk Committee into a single Audit & Risk Committee, which is more typical of an AIM listed company, and its terms of reference can be found on the Company's website at www.globalworth.com/investor-relations/corporate-governance/. The composition of the (combined) Audit & Risk Committee is as follows: Andreas Tautscher (Chair), Daniel Malkin, Richard van Vliet, David Maimon. All other Board committees remain unchanged.
