chairperson of the meeting. If the deputy chairperson is not present within fifteen minutes
after the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting or is interested in the relevant
matter, the Directors present may select one of their number (who is not interested in the
relevant matter) to be chairperson of the meeting.
8.8 Term of appointment
The chairperson and deputy chairperson hold office until:
(a) he or she resigns from that office by written notice to the ARC (with a copy to the
Board). Such notice must state the date on which resignation takes effect (which may
not be a date before the date of such notice); or
(b) he or she is removed from that office by the ARC by written notice to that individual
(with a copy to the Board); or
(c) he or she ceases to hold office as a Director; or
(d) the term of the office that may have been specified on appointment expires, unless the
Director is reappointed for a further term.
8.9 Votes
Every Director has one vote. In the case of an equality of votes, the chairperson will not
have a casting vote. A resolution of the Board is passed if it is agreed to by all Directors
present without dissent or a majority of the votes cast on it are in favour of it. A Director
present at a meeting of the Board is presumed to have agreed to, and to have voted in
favour of, a resolution of the Board unless that Director expressly dissents or expressly
abstains from voting on, or votes against, the resolution.
8.10 Resolutions in writing
A resolution in writing, signed or assented to by all Directors then entitled to receive notice of
a Board meeting, is as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of the Board
duly convened and held. Any such resolution may consist of several documents (including
facsimile or other similar means of communication) in like form, each signed or assented to
by one or more Directors. A copy of any such resolution must be sent, within 5 working days
of its being passed, to any Directors who did not sign or assent to the resolution and entered
in or kept with the records of Board proceedings.
8.11 Committees
The Board may (by resolution) appoint a committee of Directors to exercise any of ARH’s
functions or powers delegated to that committee by the Board. The Board will appoint a
chairperson of each committee of Directors.
The Board will appoint an assurance and risk committee of Directors. The principal function
of the assurance and risk committee will be to assist the Board in producing accurate
financial statements in compliance with all applicable legal requirements and accounting
standards. The Board will prepare terms of reference for the assurance and risk committee
(and any other committee) and will provide, on request, a copy of such terms of reference to
the ARC.
8.12 Other procedures
Except as set out in these Rules, the Act or any other enactment, the Board or the relevant
committee (as the case may be) may regulate its own procedure.
