Other changes to the BoD
The Board’s long serving Independent Non-Executive Director and External Director, Daniel King will end his maximum nine-year term in June 2022. He currently serves as the Chair of Remuneration and ESG Committees at Plus500.
King has been with the Group since its IPO. His expertise working with technology businesses, many of whom are based in Israel, has been crucial for the business.
Frenkel said:
In June 2022, our long serving Independent Non-Executive Director and External Director, Daniel King, will end his maximum nine-year term. I would like to thank Daniel for his long-standing support and guidance to the Board since the Company’s IPO in 2013 and during an eventful and exciting period since that time. Daniel is, and has always been, a highly effective and engaged Board member who has made significant contributions as Chair of a number of Board Committees over the years.
His place as Chair of Remuneration Committee will be taken by Anne Grim, currently serving as Senior Independent Director, also a member of the Committee.
Steve Baldwin, Non-Executive Director and a member of the ESG Committee, will take King’s place as Chair of the Committee. Both changes will take effect on 17 June 2022.
Frenkel added:
We are also delighted to be welcoming, as of 17 June 2022, Steve Baldwin as the Chair of our ESG Committee, and our Senior Independent Director, Anne Grim, as the Chair of our Remuneration Committee. We are sure that both Steve and Anne will provide dynamic leadership and continue the positive work.
