## Suitability for the current role

### Role fit remains only partly evidenced [bc8_mark_pitts_rolefit]

Current appointment through 2026-11-02 · analyst inference · low materiality

The issuer and selected V8.1 roster identify Pitts as Joint Company Secretary; the FY26 Annual Report lists him in the corporate directory and the 26 October amended AGM announcement identifies him as the company contact. These records confirm current role continuity, but do not establish additional individual operating outcomes or a governance breach.

**Attribution:** Responsibility not applicable. This is an analytical role-fit assessment; it does not allege responsibility for outcomes.

**Relevance:** Relevant to current Joint Company Secretary duties at Black Cat Syndicate Limited.

## Evidence gaps

- No exhaustive individual criminal, sanctions, litigation, safety, environmental or regulatory record search was performed; logged open-web checks are limited and are not a clearance.

- Career dates are incomplete where cited issuer biographies give experience but no exact start/end dates; the listed chronology is not a complete CV.

- No exhaustive criminal, sanctions, litigation, safety, environmental, or professional-registration search was conducted. The topic logs describe only documented public search scope.

- Employer outcomes are attributed to an individual only where the source explicitly connects that person to the action or responsibility.
