How often should the nomination committee be reelected? The options are 1 or 3.
In the UK Code it states “All directors should be subject to annual re-election.”
I came across a question in the exam stating how often the nomination committee should we reelected and in the same the directors. And I read somewhere that NEDs can be elected for a period of 3 years and for an additional 2 more cycle of those 3 years (which totals to 9). So does that mean the nomination committee which consists majority of NEDs can be reelected in 3 years?
This is taken from model terms of reference published by ICSA:
“Appointments to the committee are made by the board on the recommendation of
the nomination committee and shall be for a period of UP TO three years, which may be
extended for up to two additional three-year periods, provided the director still meets the
criteria for membership of the committee.”I am unable to say without seeing the question in its entirety/context and exactly what was asked.
it was said the assessment of the nomination committee was subject to re-election it was anually i guess because it was a random mcq not a scenario specific
they had 4 options.
Exec directors relection ; 1 or 3 i marked 3
nomination assessment : 1 or 3 i marked 1
internal audit function review ; 1 or 3 i said 1
last one i didnt remember it was abit obvious one i guess
@kim smith if u can please see did i wrote them right or wrong?I would say that the board should assess annually the composition of the nomination committee – but that is not the same as re-electing the committee annually.
For a listed company all directors – whether exec or NED should be relected annually.
@ranganaherath true but i still believe i read that they can annually appointed but re elected no more than 3 years later.

look at the point number5 of answer one thats what offical answer said idk 😀
@Kim Smith, re-election of directors doesn’t mean their remuneration is updated right?
Not automatically no – a listed company should have a remuneration POLICY that is approved by the shareholders – e.g. this is a 3-year policy effective 2020-2023
https://reports.shell.com/annual-report/2019/governance/remuneration-policy.php@sirhanj – the answer you cite is from March 2016 and is technically now out-of-date.
“The directors should be subject to re-election by the
shareholders at regular intervals not exceeding three years.” – this is the OLD code and no longer correct.Per the UK Corporate Governance Code (Revised July 2018) – which can be downloaded from here – http://www.frc.org.uk/directors/corporate-governance-and-stewardship/uk-corporate-governance-code:
18. ALL directors should be subject to ANNUAL re-election.
