Retirement of Chairman and Directors

The Board of Energy Technologies announces the resignations of its Directors Mr Martin Thomas, Mr Philip Dulhunty and Mr Richard Llewellyn effective 1 October 2012. The three Directors resign as part of the planned restructuring of the Energy Technologies Board which follows from the significant asset sale completed in the last financial year and the resulting change in the nature and scale of the company’s operations.

The company intends that the Board will consist of three Directors; the Managing Director and two independent Directors. The company hopes to announce shortly the appointment of a new independent Director. This reduction in the size of the Board will reduce costs while maintaining a high standard of corporate governance.

The current Managing Director, Mr Alfred Chown will take up the role of Acting Chairman until the new Board elects its Chairman at its first meeting. Mr Chown said “This restructuring will establish the company for its next stage of growth. The company is grateful for the long and generous service of the retiring directors and looks forward to working with them in their new capacity in the future.”

Mr Martin Thomas AM and Mr Philip Dulhunty OAM, who are well-known in the electricity supply industry, will join a newly formed company Advisory Panel. The panel will advise on industry trends, business and product opportunities and assist with introductions to potential customers or partners. It will meet on an occasional basis as required. Mr Anthony Wingrove, previously a Managing Director of the company, is also a member of the Advisory Panel.

Mr Thomas, the retiring Chairman, said “The company has sold a major asset and plans to distribute excess capital from the sale proceeds. The time is right for changes at Board level to reflect the new stage in the company’s life. The company must now focus on building a much larger business on the base of its recent acquisition of Bambach Wires and Cables Pty Ltd and its substantial interest in Dulhunty Poles Pty Limited. I look forward, together with Philip Dulhunty and Tony Wingrove, to contributing to that growth.”
