Mr Malone has committed to remain as Executive Chairman for the period until 30 June 2019 to facilitate the Company's exit from Small Amount Credit Contract lending, at which time he will then become Non-Executive Chairman.
Board Composition
The Company also believes now is an appropriate time to rejuvenate its Board of Directors and, in doing so, ensure that the requisite skills are in place and that its corporate governance is evolving in parallel with the Company's growth ambitions.
Mr Kang Tan has advised the Board he intends to retire his position upon the FY2018 financial results being announced. Mr Tan was one of the founders of the company and has been an integral member of the Company's Board since its formation and listing on the Australian Securities Exchange in 2006.
Mr Leath Nicholson has advised the Board that, due to other commitments, he does not intend to stand for re-election at the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting in November 2018. Mr Nicholson joined the Board in January 2016 and has played an integral part in steering the Company through a number of significant achievements.
The Company thanks both Mr Tan and Mr Nicholson for their efforts and contribution.
The Company has identified a short-list of strong candidates to join the Board and intends to have these appointed prior to the Annual General Meeting in November 2018, and will advise shareholders accordingly.
The Company will release its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2018 on or around Monday 27 August 2018.
Ends.
