Executive Remuneration
The Directors who are employees of the Manildra group, do not receive any remuneration from the Fund. Instead, the Manildra Group allows them to fulfil their duties as Directors of the Fund, without reducing their salaries as employees or directors of the Manildra Group. Belinda Burton receives a quarterly payment from the Manildra Group for her services as an Independent Director. The Fund may reimburse Directors for reasonable expenses incurred in their role as Directors of the Fund.
Each Director, other than the independent director, spends approximately one day for preparation and one day attendance at each trustee meeting, plus ad hoc time on trustee duties as required. The independent director spends at least an additional day of preparation for each meeting. Mr. Bratby spends approximately 5 hours per week on his duties as Fund Secretary in addition to the time spent on his duties as a Director.
Alternate Directors are only required to act when another director is unable to perform his duties. The Fund does not have any other Executive Officers (as defined in superannuation legislation).
Based on the time a Director spends on their duties as a Director, the annual remuneration of each director from 1 July 2017 is as follows:
- Peter Stretton $14,000
- Mark Andrews $8,000
- Gilbert Bratby $51,000
- Christian Papalia $5,000
