Directorate Changes
JCurve Solutions Limited (ASX: JCS) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce the restructuring of the board, to take effect at the conclusion of today’s Annual General Meeting.
Appointment of Mr Bruce Hatchman
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Bruce Hatchman as its new independent Non-executive Chairman, effective as of the close of the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2014. On Mr Hatchman’s appointment, Mr Graham Baillie will step down as Executive Chairman to become a Non-executive Director of the Company.
Background of Mr Hatchman
Mr Hatchman is an experienced and successful finance professional. He is currently the Chairman of Armidale Investment Corporation Limited, Darwin Clean Fuels Limited and Suters Holdings Pty Ltd, and an Independent Advisory Board Member of the law firm Hunt & Hunt.
As the former Chief Executive of Crowe Horwath, Mr Hatchman has 40 years’ experience in providing audit and assurance services to listed companies and large private enterprises. He is a qualified accountant and a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Mr Hatchman will receive director fees amounting to $97,646 per annum including superannuation.
The background checks that were conducted on Mr Hatchman pursuant to the ASX Corporate Governance Council’s Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations (Recommendation 1.2) have not revealed any material adverse information.
Retirement of Mr John Bond
Mr John Bond has notified the Company that due to personal reasons and commitments, he no longer wishes to seek re-election as a Director of the Company. Consequently the resolution to approve the re-election of Mr Bond as a Director of the Company (Resolution 1) is withdrawn from the agenda of the Company’s Annual General Meeting to be held later today.
Mr Bond will therefore retire as director, effective as of the close of the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 27 November 2014.
