## Contributions and company outcomes

### Exchange listings and corporate secretarial work [bky_dylan_listing]

2015 and Berkeley listing period · issuer reported · low materiality

Berkeley’s FY2026 annual report credits Browne with successfully listing GreenX on the LSE Main Board and Warsaw Stock Exchange in 2015, and overseeing Berkeley’s LSE and Spanish-market listings. These are issuer-reported transactions; no independent evidence of Browne’s specific work product or of value created for Berkeley shareholders was located.

**Attribution:** Individual involvement documented. The annual report expressly connects Browne to the listing work; no broader investment performance is inferred.

**Relevance:** Relevant to listed-company disclosure and finance governance duties.

## Litigation and enforcement

### Salamanca permitting and arbitration remain unresolved [bky_dylan_permits]

2021–2027 (arbitration unresolved at cutoff) · documented · medium materiality

FY2026 company report describes material regulatory and litigation uncertainty: key permits have been rejected or annulled, the project cannot proceed to construction without required licences, and Berkeley’s US$1.25bn ICSID claim remains unresolved with a jurisdiction hearing scheduled for mid-2027. Browne is CFO and company secretary and has long tenure, but neither sources reviewed nor the annual report attributes the government decisions or project legal dispute to him personally.

**Attribution:** Role overlaps event; causation unproven. His CFO/secretary role overlaps corporate reporting and governance, but no personal involvement in permit decisions or claim conduct is documented.

**Relevance:** Material financial and disclosure context for a long-tenured CFO/company secretary; not a personal misconduct finding.

## Suitability for the current role

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

Current appointment through 2026-10-09 · analyst inference · low materiality

FY2026 annual report states B.Com, Chartered Accountant and Associate Member of Governance Institute of Australia (Chartered Secretary). Exact university/degree specialization and direct register verification were not in reviewed sources. Role-fit inference: relevant disclosed experience for CFO and Company Secretary is supported; professional background does not negate separately documented governance findings or establish successful production.

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

**Relevance:** Relevant to current CFO and Company Secretary duties at Berkeley Energia Limited.

## Evidence gaps

- Exact dates and independent corroboration of several pre-Berkeley employer roles are not provided in the cited biographies.

- Academic credentials and professional memberships are issuer-reported and were not independently verified with institutions or registers.

- The open-web and regulatory/court queries logged here are scoped research, not exhaustive criminal, sanctions, litigation, credential or reference checks.

- The Salamanca project’s permit status and arbitration remain unresolved at the 9 October 2026 cutoff; no arbitration award or final resolution of the permitting dispute was located.

- Company outcomes and role overlap are not proof of individual causation; the sanctioned conduct is specifically limited to Bellón and the CNMV decision.
