Board Succession Planning

Since mid- 2013, St Barbara’s Board has undergone a structured renewal process which has seen three of its five Non-Executive Directors (Robert Rae, Phil Lockyer and Betsy Donaghey) retire, Ines Scotland and Tim Netscher appointed, and Bob Vassie succeeded Tim Lehany as Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer.

Continuity in Board performance is an important part of this renewal process. Long serving NonExecutive Directors, Colin Wise (Chairman) and Doug Bailey (Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee), have therefore remained on the Board. The approved succession programme anticipates they will continue in office until the Board is satisfied that the recent appointees are in a position to allow these two senior Directors to retire from the Board. Colin Wise is therefore standing for re-election at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 25 November 2014, as detailed in the Notice of Meeting.

It is planned that when appropriate, and before the end of the current 2014/15 financial year, Colin Wise will be replaced as Chairman by fellow Director, Tim Netscher, and Doug Bailey will be replaced as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee by a newly appointed Non-Executive Director. Tim Netscher was appointed as a Non-Executive Director in February 2014. His profile is attached.

Searches for new replacement Non-Executive Directors will commence in early 2015. It is intended to maintain a Board of five Directors (including the Managing Director & CEO), although the number may increase temporarily during the transition of the new replacement Directors.
