Mr Manohar Pundalik Shenoy
It is with deep sadness that the Board of Savannah announces the passing of Mr. Manohar Pundalik Shenoy, Non-Executive Director of the Company. The Board extends its sincerest condolences and sympathies to Mr Shenoy's family and friends.
Manohar joined Savannah's Board in 2016 as an alternate Director for one of the nominees of Al Marjan, Savannah's largest shareholder. He became a Non-Executive Director in his own right in April 2022 and was Chairman of the Board's Audit and Risk Committee and served on the Remuneration Committee.
In paying tribute to Manohar, Savannah's Chairman, Matthew King, Said, "Manohar was a committed member of the Savannah Board who commanded great respect for his business acumen and human decency. We will miss his valued contributions, particularly as Chairman of our Audit and Risk Committee. I have great admiration for his dedication to Savannah which continued unabated throughout his recent illness. My deepest sympathies for his wife, Saroj, and son, Sailesh."
