Directorate Change

 

De La Rue plc announces that, further to the announcement yesterday by Rolls-Royce that Warren East will become its new Chief Executive on 2 July 2015, Mr East has advised the Board that he intends to step down as a Non-executive Director at the Company's AGM on 23 July 2015. Mr East was appointed a Non-executive Director of De La Rue plc on 9 January 2007 and he is currently Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Senior Independent Director.

 

 

Philip Rogerson, Chairman of De La Rue, said:

"I would like to record the Board's appreciation of Warren's significant contribution to the business over the past eight years. He has remained independent in character and judgement as a Non-executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee and latterly as the Senior Independent Director, and his contribution to Board and Committee discussions has been invaluable.  We wish Warren all the very best for the future."

 

Warren East said:

"I am pleased to have played a part on the De La Rue Board over the past eight years, a period which has seen considerable change within the Company. I would like to wish the Board and the Company every success for the future".
