    Hi,

    when I did P1 it was 1/3rd of the board but now its 1/2 of the board.

    The combined code was changed in June this year and is now called “THE UK CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE”

    From the new code:

    B.1.2 Except for smaller companies , at least half the board, excluding the
    chairman, should comprise non-executive directors determined by the
    board to be independent. A smaller company should have at least two
    independent non-executive directors.

    This can be found here:

    https://www.frc.org.uk/documents/pagemanager/Corporate_Governance/UK%20Corp%20Gov%20Code%20June%202010.pdf

    I just presume the OT notes have not been updated for this change yet.

    Kind regards
