Pursuant to the Byelaw the Council has set a ballot date of 5 January 2016 to elect two working members, two C-external members and one individual external member of the Council. The term of office for each of these vacancies shall be for a period of three years and shall commence on 1 February 2016.

The Byelaw limits members of Council (other than the Chief Executive Officer) to serve no more than nine years in aggregate as a member of the Council. In addition, under the Byelaw time served on the Franchise Board will count towards that nine year limit. Accordingly only Flectat Limited, represented by Michael Watson and Novae Corporate Underwriting Limited, represented by Matthew Fosh, whose terms of office are expiring are eligible to stand again for election.

The Byelaw limits the eligibility of “connected” members sitting on Council at the same time (see paragraphs 5.7, 5.10 and 5.28(i) of Schedule 1 of the Byelaw). As a consequence, additional vacancies may arise when the results of the election are known. In the event that such vacancies arise, they will be filled by the candidates with the next highest number of votes in the relevant constituency and the term of office will be for the unexpired term of office of the member resigning.

The members will be elected respectively from among the working and external members of the Society by ballot (either by post or electronically) of those members of the Society whose names are shown, respectively, in Part I and Part II of the Register referred to in Schedule 1 of Lloyd's Act 1982 on the date of this notice and who have not ceased to be members before the date of the ballot.
