(Alliance News) - The following is a round-up of London-listed company director and manager changes announced on Monday and not separately reported by Alliance News:
----------
Gresham House Strategic PLC - investor in smaller UK public companies - Launches strategic review as David Potter plans to retire as chair at the September annual general meeting and company receives request from major shareholder Gresham House PLC for an extraordinary general meeting to remove Potter. The London-based asset manager wants Potter to be removed from the board immediately and Jeston Na Nakhorn to be appointed to the board of Gresham House Strategic as a representative of Gresham House. It wants Helen Sinclair, a current non-executive director of GHS, to become interim chair until the AGM and Kenneth Lever, another non-executive director, to become senior independent director. Gresham House also wants a strategic review of GHS by July 12. This would determine the "best means of maximising value for shareholders including consideration of a realisation of the invested assets of GHS". Gresham House Strategic says that, in view of its own announcement of a strategic review and the retirement of Potter, it will consult with Gresham House about its proposed meeting resolutions. It says its strategic review will include considering Gresham House Asset Management's continued role as asset manager, and therefore it has served 12 months notice to GHAM.
