Governance framework

QCA Code and the Board

The Directors of Tap recognise the importance of high standards of corporate governance and are committed to ensuring the Company operates in a manner that is transparent, accountable and aligned with the interests of its shareholders and stakeholders. In accordance with AIM Rule 26, the Board has adopted the QCA Code as its governance framework. The Board believes the QCA Code is appropriate for a company of Tap’s size, stage of development, resources and nature of operations.

The Board reviews compliance with the QCA Code annually and provides updates in the Company’s annual report and accounts.

Given the nature and purpose of the Company, the experience of the Directors and strategy, the Directors believe that the composition of the Board is appropriate and suitable. The Directors consider that both Manuel De Luque Muntaner, in his role as Non-Executive Chairman and John Taylor, in his role as Non-Executive Director, will be Independent for the purposes of the QCA Code.

The Company has established an audit committee (“Audit Committee”), a remuneration committee (“Remuneration Committee”) and a risk committee (“Risk Committee”).
