    So the directors made a decision on behalf of all shareholders to purchase Track Concepts in 2015 for $35.5m


    https://www.arnnet.com.au/article/584699/crowd-mobile-buys-track-concepts-35-5-million/


    Then in 2018 only three years later the directors wrote off $26m


    My question to the board is this. Are the directors fees disproportionate to the performance of the company, the write off, similar companies directors and executive remuneration, the loss, the current performance and so forth????


    Are the Directors adhering to guidelines set by the company below?????


    Principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration


    The objectives of the Group's executive reward framework is to ensure reward for performance is competitive and appropriate for the results delivered. The framework aligns executive reward with the achievement of strategic objectives and the creation of value for shareholders. The Board of Directors ("'the board') ensures that executive reward satisfies the following key criteria for good reward governance practices:

    ** competitiveness and reasonableness

    ** acceptability to shareholders

    ** performance linkage/ alignment of executive compensation

    ** transparency


    The Board is responsible fordetermining and reviewing remuneration arrangements for its directors andexecutives.

    The performance of the Group dependson the quality of it

    s directors and executives. Theremuneration philosophy is

    to attract, motivate and retain highperformance and high quality personnel.

    The reward framework is designed toalign executive reward

    to shareholders' interests. TheBoard have considered that

    it should seek to enhance shareholders'interests by:

    having revenue and economic profitas a core component of plan design

    focusing on sustained growth inshareholder wealth, and particularly growth in share price, and delivering

    constant or increasing return

    on assets as well as focusing theexecutive on key non-financial drivers of value

    attracting and retaining highcalibre executives

    Additionally, the reward frameworkshould seek to enhance executives' interests by:

    rewarding capability and experience

    reflecting competitive reward forcontribution to growth in shareholder wealth

    providing a clear structure forearning rewards

    In accordance with best practicecorporate governance, the

    structure of non-executive directorand executive director

    remuneration is separate.

    Non-executive directors remuneration

    Fees and payments to non-executivedirectors reflect the demands and responsibilities of their role. Non-executive

    directors' fees and payments arereviewed annually by the

    Board. The Board may, from time totime, receive advice

    from independent remunerationconsultants to ensure non-

    executive directors' fees andpayments are appropriate

    and in line with the market.Non-executive directors may receive share options or other incentives. Fees arereviewed

    annually and include superannuationcontributions, where

    required. The non-executivedirectors do not receive any

    other benefits.

    ASX listing rules require theaggregate non-executive directors remuneration be determined periodically by ageneral

    meeting. The most recentdetermination was at the Annual General Meeting held on 9 December 2015, wherethe

    shareholders approved an aggregateremuneration of $500,000.

    Executive remuneration

    The Group aims to reward executivesbased on their position

    and responsibility, with a level andmix of remuneration

    which has both fixed and variablecomponents.

    The executive remuneration andreward framework has four components:

    base pay and non-monetary benefits

    short-term performance incentives

    share-based payments

    other remuneration such as superannuationand long service leave

    The combination of these comprisesthe executive's total remuneration.

    Fixed remuneration, consisting ofbase

    salary, superannuation andnon-monetary benefits, are reviewed annually by the Board, based on individualand business unit performance, the overall performance of the Group andcomparable market remunerations.

    The short-term incentives ('STI')program is designed to align the targets of the business units with the targetsof those executives in charge of meeting those targets. STI payments are paidas cash bonuses and are discretionary.

    The long-term incentives (‘LTI’) mayinclude equity based

    payments in the form of shares,performance rights or options. The Company primarily utilises a PerformanceRights Plan ('PR Plan') as approved by shareholders on 17

    December 2014 (supported by 99.98%of the votes received) to grant selected employees (and Directors) performance rightswhich entitles them to receive ordinary shares in the Company, subject to theGroup meeting specified performance objectives.
