1. ABOUT EY

EY is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. The
insights and quality services we deliver help build trust and confidence in the
capital markets and in economies the world over. We develop outstanding leaders
who team to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders. In so doing, we
play a critical role in building a better working world for our people, for our
clients and for our communities.

“EY” in this legal statement refers to the global organisation of member firms
of Ernst & Young Global Limited (“EYG”), each of which is a separate legal
entity. EYG, a UK company limited by guarantee, does not provide services to
clients.

View a list of EY member firms and affiliates (June 2021) under Audit Regulation
2.12 of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW).

The EY network is divided into three areas: Americas, EMEIA and Asia Pacific.

Americas

The member firms of EYG operating in North, Central and South America, as well
as Ernst & Young (Israel) Ltd. (the “Americas Area Firms”), are separate and
independent legal entities that are, directly or indirectly, members of Ernst &
Young Americas LLC.

Ernst & Young Americas LLC is a Delaware limited liability company that
coordinates the activities of the Americas Area Firms. It does not provide
professional services to clients and does not participate in client engagements.
Although Ernst & Young LLC oversees implementation of EYG policies at Americas
Area Firms and facilitates their cooperation, it does not control or manage, or
have any ownership interest in, any Americas Area Firm. Ernst & Young Americas
LLC is not the agent of any Americas Area Firm, nor does it have any authority
to represent or bind any thereof.  No Americas Area Firm is the agent of Ernst &

LLC in any way.

EMEIA

Africa (the “EMEIA Firms”) are separate and independent legal entities and are
in part, directly or indirectly, members of Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited.

Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited is an English company limited by guarantee and is
the principal governance entity in EMEIA for the EMEIA Firms. Ernst & Young
EMEIA Limited does not carry on any trade or other activities with a view to
profit and it is prohibited by its constitution from providing professional
services. Accordingly, it does not participate in client engagements.

cooperation between them, Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited does not control or manage
or have any ownership interest in any EMEIA Firm. Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited
does not act as agent for or have any authority to represent or bind any EMEIA
Firm and no EMEIA Firm acts as agent for or has any authority to represent or
bind Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited.

parent entity of certain EMEIA Firms in Europe. Ernst & Young Europe LLP is an
English limited liability partnership, a member of EYG and Ernst & Young EMEIA
Limited and the parent entity of certain other EMEIA Firms in Europe. Neither EY
Europe SCRL nor Ernst & Young Europe LLP provide professional services or
participate in client engagements. Although each of them is the parent entity of
certain EMEIA Firms, neither EY Europe SCRL nor Ernst & Young Europe LLP act as
agent for or have any authority to represent or bind any EMEIA Firm or Ernst &
Young EMEIA Limited, and neither Ernst & Young EMEIA Limited nor any EMEIA Firm
acts as agent for or has any authority to represent or bind EY Europe SCRL or
Ernst & Young Europe LLP.

Asia-Pacific 

The member firms of EYG that operate in Asia-Pacific (the “Asia-Pacific Firms”)
are separate and independent legal entities and are, or will be, directly or
indirectly, members of Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific Limited.

Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific Limited is a Hong Kong company limited by guarantee
and is the principal governance entity in Asia-Pacific for the Asia-Pacific
Firms. Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific Limited does not carry on any trade or other
activities with a view to profit and it is prohibited by its constitution from
providing professional services. Accordingly, it does not participate in client
engagements. Furthermore, although it facilitates the coordination of these
firms and cooperation between them, Ernst & Young Asia-Pacific Limited does not
control or manage or have any ownership interest in any Asia-Pacific Firm. Ernst
& Young Asia-Pacific Limited does not act as agent for or have any authority to
represent or bind any Asia-Pacific Firm, and no Asia-Pacific Firm acts as agent

5. AUDIT FIRM GOVERNANCE CODE

The Financial Reporting Council’s (FRC’s) Audit Firm Governance Code (AFGC)
provides a benchmark of good governance practice against which firms that audit
listed companies, such as EY, can report.  The 2016 revised AFGC, which was
published in July 2016, focusses on the promotion of good governance of audit
firms and better alignment with the UK Corporate Governance Code, enhancement of
transparency over and above the requirements in the EU Audit Regulation, and
improvement of engagement between firms, investors and Independent
Non-Executives. 

The EY UK 2020 Transparency Report (“Report”) provides details on EY UK and the
Global EY network’s global policies and procedures. It confirms how EY UK has
applied the principles and provisions of the Audit Firm Governance Code (AFGC).
The Report also shows how EY UK complied with the Local Auditors (Transparency)
Instrument 2015, and Article 13 of the EU Audit Regulation (537/2014). In
addition to this information, and new for this year, EY UK published an Audit
Quality Report.

The AFGC also requires certain information to be available on a firm’s website.
For EY this additional information includes:

 * The EY Global Code of Conduct (available here)
 * The EY whistleblowing policy (available here)

Details on how EY supports its commitment to the professionalism, openness and
risk management principles of the AFGC through recruitment, development
activities, objective setting, performance evaluation, remuneration,
progression, other forms of recognition, representation and involvement can be
found in the Report and on the EY website page where the Report is positioned.
This page also provides information on the Independent Non-Executives,
stakeholder engagement, the firm’s support for the AFGC and details on its audit
committee, amongst other things.

Details concerning the firm’s engagement with shareholders and listed companies
are available in the Report. The contact details for dialogue with listed
company shareholders and listed companies about matters covered by the AFGC are:

 * Christabel Cowling, Partner, Audit & UK Head of Regulatory & Public Policy
 * David Thorburn, Independent Non-Executive and Chair of the INE Oversight
   Committee
 * Loree M Gourley, Director, Regulatory & Public Policy
