In addition to his role as a Non-Executive Director, Mark will chair both the
Audit Committee and Remuneration Committee and will also be the Senior
Independent Director.

Steven Owen will chair the Nominations Committee and Matthew Simpson, CFO,

will be invaluable in enabling the Board to execute the Company's strategy of
maximising cash returns to shareholders. The Board is looking forward to
working with Mark in delivering this goal."
