affect the validity of the Notice of AGM, the proxy form or any votes in
respect of the remaining resolutions to be proposed at the AGM. The numbering
of all other proposed resolutions at the AGM remains unchanged.

 

The Company's Chair, Luke Savage, commented:

'Mark, with his wealth of experience and knowledge of the Group, will be
sorely missed at the Chesnara plc Board table, but I am very pleased that the
Group will continue to benefit from his expertise as the newly appointed Chair
of our UK business.  I want to thank him for his contribution to the plc
Board and I am looking forward to working closely with him in this important
role.'
