Non-executive directors’ fees

The group benefits from non-executive directors who attend meetings and actively contribute to the success of our business. Therefore, non-executive directors receive an annual retainer plus meeting attendance fees. They do not receive STIs or LTIs. Telkom’s MOI states that shareholders must approve these fees at the AGM. The current fees were approved at the AGM on 27 August 2019.

Non-executive directors’ fees (rand per annum) FY2020   FY2019

Social and ethics committee chairperson 231 080   218 000  
Social and ethics committee member 138 860   131 000  

The investment and transactions committee scheduled meetings increased from three to four and the audit committee from four to five. Therefore, the difference in fees from a comparative point of view can be misconstrued as an increase in meeting fees.

Board members do not receive fees for voluntarily attending a committee meeting of which they are not members.

The investment and transactions committee scheduled meetings increased from three to four and the audit committee from four to five. Therefore, the difference in fees from a comparative point of view should not be misconstrued as an increase in meeting fees.

All fees are paid proportionally to the period in which office is held. Non-executives directors’ emoluments are set out in the annual financial statements in note 39, which is available online at https://www.telkom.co.za/ir/financial/financial-results-2020.shtml.
