CHANGE IN BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Shareholders are advised that Peter Wilmot has resigned as a
Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit & Risk Committee of
Brait and its subsidiaries, with effect from 19 June 2009.
Wilmot has been a Non-Executive Director and a Chairman of the Audit &
Risk Committee since joining the Brait board of directors in August 1999.
His experience as a former partner and chairman of Deloitte South Africa,
as well as having chaired various local and international accounting
standards setting bodies, has benefited Brait immensely over the last 10 years.
He has decided to retire from active corporate life and this has
necessitated him stepping down from the board.
The Chairman of the board, Mervyn King, on behalf of all of Peter`s
fellow directors and staff, wishes him a well deserved retirement and
extends the Group`s sincere appreciation for his invaluable contribution
to Brait over the last 10 years.
The board would like to extend its welcome to Christopher Stefan Seabrooke,
who has been appointed as Non-Executive Director of Brait S.A, with effect
from 19 June 2009. He will replace Peter Wilmot as the Chairman of the Audit
& Risk Committee, as well as being a member of the Remuneration and
Nomination Committees.
Seabrooke brings a wealth of commercial, risk and accounting technical
knowledge to the board. He has been a director of over twenty stock
exchange listed companies and is currently CEO of Sabvest Limited,
Chairman of Metrofile Holdings Limited and Set Point Group Limited,
Deputy Chairman of Massmart Holdings Limited, a director of Datatec Limited
and NASDAQ listed Net1 U.E.P.S Technologies Inc as well as several
unlisted companies.
