Passing of Lord Renwick of Clifton

 

It is with enormous sadness that Kropz plc (AIM: KRPZ) an emerging African
phosphate producer, advises the passing of the Company's chair, distinguished
diplomat and businessman, Lord Renwick of Clifton.

 

Lord Renwick led the Company since Kropz's IPO in 2018. He was an unwavering
supporter of the Company, and his tenure on the board was marked by steadfast
leadership, underpinned by an acute intelligence and extraordinarily sharply
honed negotiation skills.

 

Prior to joining the Kropz board, Lord Renwick held a number of senior
positions while serving in the British foreign office, including in Senegal,
India and in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia at the time). He was ambassador to South
Africa from 1987 to 1991, a challenging period in the country's history. This
was followed by an ambassadorial posting to Washington DC where he remained
until 1995.

 

Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones as they mourn his passing. He
touched many people all over the world, and he will be sorely missed on a
number of continents. For us at Kropz in particular, his impact will be
lasting, and his unique engagement style, both broad-ranging and inclusive,
was an invaluable asset.

 

The board have appointed Linda Beal, non-executive director of the Company, as
interim Chair.
