Sefton Announces Board Changes
Sefton Resources, Inc. (AIM: SER), an independent exploitation and production company with assets in the East Ventura Basin of California and the Forest City Basin of eastern Kansas, today announces changes to its Board of Directors.
Harry Barnum has stood down as a Director of the Company and its subsidiaries with immediate effect. Mr. Barnum will remain as President of TEG USA and will continue to focus his efforts on the day-to-day management and operation of the Company's California assets, which form the core of the Company's activities.
Bruce McKay, who was due to retire and not stand for re-election at the Company's Annual General Meeting (which is to be held on 30 September 2010), has decided to resign as a director of the Company and its subsidiaries with immediate effect.
The Company has begun a process to identify additional Board members in the coming months in order to strengthen the Board. It seeks to appoint non-executive directors with oil and gas industry and public company experience that will provide a more diverse cross-section of expertise and strong corporate governance capabilities.
"The Board of Sefton would like to extend its thanks to Mr. Barnum and to Mr. McKay for their service to shareholders as members of the Company's Board of Directors," said John J. Ellerton, Sefton's CEO and acting Chairman.
