Appointment of Director
FBD Holdings plc ("FBD") is pleased to announce the following
appointment to the Board, subject to the approval of Shareholders
at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company to be convened
for this purpose.
Ms. Orlagh Hunt
Ms. Orlagh Hunt has been appointed as an independent
non-executive Director. Ms. Hunt, who is a Fellow of the Chartered
Institute of Personnel Development, is a human resources executive
with extensive financial services experience in firms such as
Allied Irish Banks plc, RSA Group and Axa Life Insurance, as well
as with a number of FMCG and retail companies.
Subject to her appointment being approved by shareholders, Ms.
Hunt will also join the Remuneration Committee.
The Chairman, Mr. Michael Berkery, said:
"I am very pleased to communicate this further appointment to
the Board, which is subject to the approval of Shareholders. Ms.
Hunt will bring new skills and additional financial services
experience to the Board. I look forward very much to her
contribution to the Board and to the Group. Our Board re-generation
is now complete and I expect that all of our new appointments will
greatly help us in our continuing strategic efforts."
Requirement for an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM")
As previously announced on 3 August 2016, an EGM is to be
convened to satisfy the requirement of Listing Rule 6.9 (1) of the
Irish Stock Exchange which provides "A listed company must ensure
that at all times not more than one third of its board of directors
is composed of persons who have been co-opted to the board." Either
this appointment or the previously announced appointment of Ms.
Mary Brennan would, when taken with the appointments of Mr. Dermot
Browne, Mr. David O'Connor and Mr. John O'Grady, which were made
and announced earlier this year, bring the proportion of co-opted
Directors above this threshold.
The formal convening of the Extraordinary General Meeting and
the posting of the Circular to shareholders will be the subject of
a separate announcement shortly.
