Andreea Petreanu has 18 years' experience in risk management and is currently Head of Credit Risk Management at Mizuho International in London.

-- Bruce Buck (Non-Executive Director) succeeds Geoff Miller as chairman of the remuneration committee, Peter Fechter and Eli Alroy remaining as the other members.

-- The composition of the audit committee is unchanged and comprises John Whittle (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit Committee), Andreea Petreanu and Richard van Vliet.

-- The composition of the investment committee is also unchanged and comprises Eli Alroy (Non-Executive Director and Chairman of Investment Committee), Ioannis Papalekas, Dimitris Raptis, Norbert Sasse and George Muchanya.
