On 7 September 2010, following the publication of the Notice of the Annual General Meeting on 23 August 2010, the Company announced that Mike Phillips had been appointed as a director and Chief Financial Officer of the Company with immediate effect.

Due to the timing of Mr Phillips' appointment, it was not possible to include a specific resolution in the Notice of Annual General Meeting confirming Mr Phillips' retirement at the AGM and seeking his election as a director in accordance with Article 83 of the Company's Articles of Association. In the absence of such a resolution being proposed, Mr Phillips voluntarily retired from his directorship and is deemed to have been elected as a director in accordance with Article 80 of the Company's Articles of Association. Mr Philips will voluntarily retire at the Company's Annual General Meeting in 2011 and seek re-election in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association.
