In accordance with Article 85 of the Company's Articles of Association, Bob Corliss retired at today's AGM as a director appointed since the Company's 2011 AGM. As the Notice of AGM had already been published by the Company at the time of Bob's appointment to the Board on 9 July 2012, it was not possible to include a resolution in the Notice of AGM seeking Bob's election and reappointment to the Board by the Company's shareholders. However, following Bob's retirement at today's AGM, the Company confirms that the Board reappointed Bob Corliss as a Non-Executive Director and Deputy Chairman of the Company immediately following today's AGM.
