DIRECTORATE CHANGE
The Company announces the retirement of Mr Jonathan Maximillian Gumpel as a
director of the Company effective 27 April 2010. Mr Richard de la Rue,
Chairman, expresses on behalf of the Company his grateful thanks to Mr Gumpel
for his contributions to the Company since its launch in November 2001. Mr de
la Rue also wishes to extend his condolences to the family and friends of Mr
John Grahame Hunter, who sadly died on 20 February 2010, as announced on 7 April
2010.
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Messrs John Reginald Le
Prevost and Nicholas John Falla as non-executive directors with effect from 26
April 2010. Speaking for the Company, Mr de la Rue advised "They were selected
as directors as they bring to the Company their not inconsiderable understanding
of these types of investment companies, having between them sat on the boards of
directors of many similar such investment companies managed by Close Investments
Limited in the past. As the Company moves towards its final redemption date in
2012 for the last remaining class of shares in issue, it is considered
appropriate that the board has strong technical experience of the issues which
can arise in such situations."
Details of their experience are set out below:
