The Relationship Agreement has now also terminated.

Following the above resignations, resolutions 10 and 11 seeking the re-election of both Brad and Chip which were to be voted upon at the AGM will now be withdrawn.

The search for a further Independent Non-Executive Director is underway and an announcement will be made when appropriate.
