Until the 2018 AGM, Dr. Armstrong will continue in his roles as the Company's Senior Independent Director and as a member of the Company's principal board committees.

"On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Ellis for his counsel and support over the past five years and I wish him all the best for the future."
