Notice of Annual General Meeting; Board Changes
Oxus Gold plc ("Oxus" or the "Company") announces that it will hold its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 5 December 2008. The notice to shareholders was sent out on 5 November 2008.
At the AGM, Douglas Sutherland, non-executive chairman, and Gordon Wylie, non-executive director, will both retire by rotation and not offer themselves for re-election. Richard Shead, non-executive director, will assume the role of non-executive chairman with effect from the end of the meeting. Graham Hill will also stand down as alternate director, but will remain a director of Amantaytau Goldfields.
Richard Wilkins, CEO, commented: "Firstly I would like to thank Douglas and Gordon for their invaluable contributions to the Company over recent years. I look forward to working with them until the AGM in December and I wish them both well for the future. I am also delighted that Richard Shead has accepted the role of non-executive chairman with effect from 5 December and believe that the resultant smaller board is more appropriate for the Company at this time."
