LONDON (Alliance News) - Shire PLC on Wednesday said David Kappler will step down as deputy chairman and senior independent director, with William Burns, a non-executive director, to become senior independent director.
The changes will come into effect after the pharmaceutical giant's annual meeting of shareholders on April 28.
"I would like to personally recognize and thank David for his long tenure on the Shire board, his leadership as deputy chairman and senior independent director, and his service on board committees. I would also like to thank Bill for assuming additional board responsibilities as senior independent director, a position for which his international business, board and leadership experience are especially well-suited," Chairman Susan Kilsby said.
Shares in Shire were up 1.7% at 3,540.00 pence on Wednesday.
