Reduction in CEO Salary

 

 

London, United Kingdom - Pembridge Resources plc (LSE: PERE) ("Pembridge" or the "Company"), and together with its subsidiaries, the "Group"), provides the following update:

 

In light of the current financial market conditions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the recently announced restructuring to reduce Pembridge's financial commitments that has also reduced Pembridge's economic interest in the Minto mine to 11%, the Company's Chairman and CEO, Gati Al-Jebouri, has voluntarily elected to halve his salary from its previous level of £360,000 per year to £180,000 with immediate effect from 1st April 2020. With this action he aims to assist further in reducing the Company's future capital requirements.

 

 

Gati Al-Jebouri, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board said:

 

"These are difficult times for many people, for the Minto mine and for Pembridge. I took over the role of CEO and Chairman of the Board in September 2019 and accepted the exact same remuneration terms as those of my predecessor. Since that time I have invested approximately £4M of my own funds into Pembridge to help advance its objectives. Today, when reviewing costs, I also had to consider my own remuneration and feel the action that I have taken was right under the current circumstances. I assure all our shareholders that this does not reduce in any way my commitment to the Company."
