CHANGES TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

 

 

The shareholders of Grit are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd ("SEM"), the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("JSE") on 31 October 2018, whereby it was announced that Mr Paul Huberman ("Mr Huberman") would not put himself up for re-election to the Grit Board of Directors ("Board") at the Annual General Meeting held on 29 November 2018.   

 

In compliance with paragraph 3.59 of the JSE Listings Requirements and section 12.3 of the Company's Constitution, shareholders are hereby informed that Mr David Love ("Mr Love" or "David") has been appointed as Independent Non-Executive Director with effect from 4 December 2018.

 

Mr Love is a Chartered Accountant, qualifying with Deloitte, and holds a BCom and LLB (Hons First) with a distinction in Land Law, Equity and Trusts. He has over 18 years' experience in the real estate investment sector. He is the former CFO of ING REIM (UK), CFO/COO of UK CBRE Global Investors and currently holds the position of CFO and Compliance Officer at Knight Frank Investment Management.

 

David has considerable knowledge of real estate financial and operational processes, fund and asset structuring, tax, legal and compliance, and has been instrumental in the completion of a number of high profile real estate transactions including the listing of Picton Property Income Limited (formerly ING UK REIT) on the LSE and the formation of a £1.4 billion UK Property Authorised Investment Fund. He has arranged in excess of £4 billion of debt for clients including a CMBS issuance.

 

David has been a director and chairman of several general partner companies, including a Luxembourg company investing in European infrastructure, a Guernsey trust manager and has served as a non-executive director of Welcome Break.

 

Peter Todd, Chairman of Grit Real Estate Income Group commented: "His appointment represents an undeniable asset for Grit and his long and solid experience in the real estate sector in Europe will be key in our future decisions".

 

There are no further diclosures required under LSE Listing Rule 9.6.13.

 

Shareholders are also advised that the appointment of Mrs Catherine McIlraith as replacement of Mr Huberman as Chairperson of the Audit Committee has been approved by the Nomination Committee and board of Grit with effect from 4 December 2018.

 

Catherine McIlraith has been appointed as an Independent Non Executive Director to the board of Grit as from 24 November 2017. "Mrs McIlraith's professional career made her the ideal candidate to replace Mr Huberman", said Peter Todd.

 

Grit currently holds primary listings on both the Main Market of the LSE and on the Main Board of the JSE, with a secondary listing on the Official Market of the SEM.
