("Premier")
Appointment of Non-Executive Director
07 March 2018
Premier is pleased to announce that at the Company's AGM on 16
May 2019 the Directors will propose the election of Barbara
Jeremiah to the Board as an independent non-executive director.
Barbara Jeremiah spent her executive career with the aluminium
producer Alcoa Inc (now demerged into Alcoa Inc. and Arconic Inc.)
where she worked in the legal department before becoming Executive
Vice President, Corporate Development, with responsibility for
Alcoa's substantial M&A and post-merger integration
activity.
Since leaving Alcoa in 2009 she has held a number of
non-executive directorships. From 2011 to 2015 she was a director
(and latterly chairman) of Boart Longyear Ltd, and currently she is
a director of The Weir Group plc (since 2017), Aggreko plc (since
2017) where she chairs the Remuneration Committee, Russel Metals
Inc (since 2016) and Allegheny Technologies Inc (since 2008 and her
final term as non-executive director ends May, 2019).
The Directors intend that Barbara will succeed Jane Hinkley as
Chair of the Company's remuneration committee following a short
transition period that will enable Barbara to lead the process of
preparing the remuneration policy to be put to shareholders at the
2020 Annual General Meeting. Jane intends to stand for re-election
as a Director of the Company at the 2019 Annual General Meeting
and, subject to re-election, will remain a Director and a member of
the Company's remuneration committee to ensure a smooth handover of
responsibilities. It is Jane's intention to stand down as a
Director at the end of 2019.
Commenting on her appointment Roy Franklin, Chairman of Premier
Oil, said:
"I am delighted that we are recommending Barbara for election at
the AGM. She brings with her a wealth of strategic and commercial
experience obtained in the strongly cyclical environment of the
resources sector, which will enable her, if elected, to make a
valuable contribution to our Board and as Chair of our Remuneration
Committee."
