provided to the Group. The Company has adopted a policy on engagement of the external auditor for non-audit services,

functions for and on behalf of the Group; do not perform any self assessments; and do not act in an advocacy role for the
Company. The engagement of the external auditor for permitted and approved non-audit services shall be approved by the
