Investor Relations. The success of our business model begins and ends with investment performance.

The Committee supports the Board by performing defined roles in relation to the interim and annual financial statements; the Company’s relationship with its external auditor; the effectiveness of risk management and internal controls; and oversight of the Compliance and Internal Audit functions. Specific responsibilities are set out for each of these roles. The existence of the Committee does not relieve the directors of any of their responsibilities.

The members of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board. All members of the Committee shall be independent non-executive directors of the Company and the Committee as a whole shall have competence relevant to the sector in which the Company operates. The Committee shall consist of no fewer than three members, one of whom shall have significant, recent and relevant financial experience. The quorum shall be two independent non-executive directors but, in the absence of a quorum for a particular Committee meeting, the Committee may appoint such other independent non-executive director(s) (to be nominated by the Chair of the Committee) as are required, to act as alternate(s) for those members of the Committee who are unable to attend that meeting.

The Board shall, from time to time, review the composition of the Committee in order that, where appropriate, membership of the Committee rotates amongst the Company's independent non-executive directors.

The Chair of the Committee shall be appointed by the Board from amongst the independent non-executive directors.

The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer (who also undertakes the role of Chief Risk Officer), Chief Administrative Officer, Head of Internal Audit, and a representative of the external auditor will usually attend meetings on the invitation of the Committee. Other members of the senior management team will be invited to attend meetings as appropriate.

All non-executive directors and the Chairman of the Board have the right to attend Committee meetings if they so wish.

Other relevant parties may attend meetings of the Committee if invited by the Committee.

There should be at least one meeting each year, or part thereof, where the external auditor attend without management present and similarly one such meeting with Internal Audit.

The Secretary of the Committee shall be designated by the Chair of the Committee and shall attend meetings.

In some circumstances it may be necessary for members to attend meetings by telephone or video conference, which shall be permitted.

Meetings shall be held not less than four times a year and, where appropriate, should coincide with key dates in the Company's financial reporting cycle.

The external auditor or Head of Internal Audit may request an additional meeting of the Committee if they consider that one is necessary.

The Committee shall be authorised by the Board to:

• investigate any activity within its terms of reference;
• seek any information that it requires from any employee of the Group; and
• obtain, at the Company's expense, outside legal or independent professional advice and such advisors may, if invited, attend meetings as necessary.

The Committee shall have access to sufficient resources in order to carry out its duties.

Financial Reporting

The Committee shall monitor the integrity of financial information through review and challenge, where necessary, of the actions and judgements of management, in relation to the interim and annual financial statements before submission to the Board paying particular attention to:

• critical accounting policies and practices, and any changes in them;
• decisions requiring a significant element of judgement;
• the methods used to account for significant or unusual transactions where different approaches are possible;
• off balance sheet items;
• the extent to which the financial statements are affected by any unusual transactions in the relevant period and the manner in which they are disclosed;
• the adequacy and completeness of disclosures;
• significant adjustments resulting from the audit, including the requirement to be advised of unadjusted differences;
• the assumptions or qualifications in support of the "going concern" statement (including any material uncertainties as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern over a period of at least twelve months from the date of approval of the financial statements) and the longer term viability statement (including an assessment of the prospects of the Company and the Group looking forward over an appropriate and justified period);
• compliance with applicable accounting and financial reporting standards;
• compliance with applicable UKLA, stock exchange and other regulatory requirements; and
• any other matter referred to it by the Board or the Remuneration Committee.

The Committee shall consider the following matters of relevance to the remuneration of Man staff:

• the timing or likelihood of future revenues;
• the impact of planned bonus payments on Man’s capital and liquidity position, or its growth prospects.

Narrative reporting

The Committee shall:

• have primary responsibility for making a recommendation on the appointment, reappointment and removal of the external auditor.

These arrangements should allow proportionate and independent investigation of such matters and appropriate follow up action; and
• management's follow-up of risk management and compliance failures and consideration of whether any are relevant to the remuneration of individuals, or groups of staff.

The Committee shall, on behalf of the Board, ensure that a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the Company has been undertaken (including those risks that would threaten its business model, future performance, solvency or liquidity) and advise on the management and mitigation of these risks.

The Committee shall report to the Board on how, taking into account the Company’s position and principal risks, the Company’s prospects have been assessed, over what period and why the period is regarded as appropriate.
