Methodology
The main data from the FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 listings and the figures in this
reportwere taken fromBoardExonJune1st 2016, including theheadlinefigures
for the percentages of directorships. In order to maintain consistency of six
monthly data over the past five years, data on new appointments and other
metrics (age, tenure, multiple directorships) were taken on March 1st. Data
on FTSE 100 Executive Committee composition were collected from publicly
available data and annual reports between February 1st and March 25th 2016.
Data on Executive Committees is not always readily available or fully up to date
on company websites, so in addition we wrote to Company Secretaries of the
FTSE100 toverifydata.Wewould like to thank all thosewho responded for their
co-operation in providing data.
