SABMiller plc
Confirmation of directorate change
SABMiller plc announces that Mr Miles Morland retired as a director at the end of the 2014 Annual General Meeting held earlier today, having previously intimated his intention not to stand for re-election.
Mr Morland will receive his annual fees as a non-executive director and as a member of the audit committee pro-rata to today, and no other remuneration payments will be made.
John Manser, Chairman of SABMiller plc, commented at the Annual General Meeting:
"After 15 years of distinguished service since our listing in London in March 1999, Miles has decided that, in the words of William Hague, experience should make way for the need of renewal. Miles' experience in identifying business opportunities and running successful investment funds in Africa and other developing markets over many years has been hugely valuable to the board, and he also served with a unique blend of candour and insight as the chairman of our remuneration committee for nine years, until after last year's annual general meeting. His expertise will be difficult to replace, and he leaves with our thanks and gratitude for his service."
John Davidson
General Counsel and Group Company Secretary
