Usual protocols and other arrangements appropriate to the appointment of a director representing a large shareholder have also been agreed with Seven Group Holdings Limited and Mr Stokes to protect the confidential information of the Beach group, and address any potential conflicts of interest that may arise. It has also been agreed that if Seven Group Holdings Limited’s interest in Beach falls below 12.5%, Seven Group Holdings Limited will procure the resignation of Mr Stokes if requested by Beach.
Beach welcomes Mr Stokes to the board.
Beach chairman Glenn Davis said:
“We are very pleased to have reached a sensible and commercial arrangement with our major shareholder and to welcome Mr Stokes to the Beach board.

“I am pleased to be joining the board of Beach Energy.
