Commenting on today’s announcement, Eyas Alhomouz, Chairman of PetroNor E&P said:
“We welcome Roger and Alexander to the Board and look forward to benefiting from their broad experience going forward. These appointments fulfill our obligations as an Australian registered company while we continue to prepare the Company for its re-domiciliation. Importantly, the size of the Board, and its associated cost base, is now more appropriate for a company of our size and the level of independence reflects our commitment to Governance. We will continue to implement cost discipline through various means including the proposed re-domiciliation that is expected to occur later this year.”
