Board Change
United Oil & Gas PLC announces that David Quirke has notified the Board of his intention to step down as Chief Financial Officer ('CFO') and Executive Director of the Company at a date to be agreed in due course.
A search process to find a new CFO has been launched and is well advanced. David will remain CFO and Executive Director of United until the search process has concluded to ensure an orderly transition.
Brian Larkin, Chief Executive Officer commented:
"David has been CFO, during some of our exciting and challenging years and I thank him for his insight, guidance and commitment. David has been instrumental in our asset acquisitions, divestments and capital markets transactions. I have worked closely with David over the last three years, he has made an outstanding contribution to United and I am sorry to see David leave. On behalf of the Board I would like to thank him for all his hard work and commitment and I wish him all the very best and success in his future endeavours."
David Quirke, Chief Financial Officer commented:
"I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at United but have decided that the time is right to pursue new challenges. United's balance sheet has been significantly strengthened recently via debt refinancing and the completion of divestments, providing a platform for growth. I look forward to watching the next chapter in United's growth story and wish Brian and the dedicated team all the best."
