CHANGE IN EXTERNAL AUDITOR
Shareholders are further advised that the appointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor of the Company has been
terminated with effect from 16 September 2020.
As explained in the notice of annual general meeting dispatched on 31 July 2020, the Financial Reporting Council’s
ethical standards with regards to the provision of non-audit services are now applicable to Guernsey-incorporated
companies, including the Company, and disallows an auditor from performing auditing and non-auditing services for
the same company. The Company decided to retain Deloitte LLP for the provision of tax advisory services and the
appointment of Deloitte LLP as auditor of the Company was therefore terminated.
Stenprop wishes to thank Deloitte for their excellent services and commitment to the Company over the past seven
years.
Following a competitive tender process, the board of directors of the Company confirms the appointment of BDO
LLP as auditor of the Company, with Christopher Young as designated audit partner, with immediate effect.
