Mondi Joint Chairman
Sir John Parker, joint chairman of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc, has been
appointed chairman of Anglo American plc with effect from 1 August 2009.
Following Anglo American plc`s announcement earlier today of Sir John Parker`s
appointment as chairman of the board of Anglo American plc, Sir John has
advised the boards of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc of his intention to
relinquish his positions as joint chairman and a non executive director. In
order to ensure an orderly succession, Sir John has agreed to remain as joint
chairman until the appointment of a successor or 31 December 2009, whichever
is the earlier. The nominations committee of the boards will immediately start
the process of seeking a successor to Sir John.
The boards would like to thank Sir John for his enormous contribution to the
successful listing of Mondi and the strategic direction he has provided to the
Group in its first two years as an independent publicly listed Group.
Sir John Parker said, "It is with great regret that I announce my decision to
step down from the boards of Mondi Limited and Mondi plc. Mondi is an exciting
Group to lead, and I believe its strong management and quality asset base will
ensure that it prospers as we emerge from the current difficult economic
environment."
