("ECO" or the "Company")
Board Change
ECO Animal Health Group plc (AIM: EAH), a rapidly growing global animal health company with a portfolio of marketed veterinary products and a maturing proprietary R&D pipeline, announces that Frank Armstrong has informed the Board of his intention to step down from his role as Independent Non-Executive Director of the Company, effective following the conclusion of this year's Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Dr Armstrong, who also serves as Chair of the Remuneration Committee, was recently elected as the Senior Lay Member (Chair) of the Court (Board) of the University of Edinburgh, a role he will assume in August 2026. Given the duties associated with this role and length of his tenure at ECO, Dr Armstrong has decided to retire from his position and will step down at the AGM, which is currently anticipated to be held in September.
The Board has commenced a thorough search process to identify a suitable replacement. Further updates will be provided in due course.
Dr Joachim Hasenmaier, Chairman of ECO Animal Health, commented: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Frank for his invaluable contributions to ECO during his tenure as Independent Non-Executive Director and in his role as Chair of the Remuneration Committee. His counsel and expertise have been instrumental in supporting the Company through a significant period of growth. We wish him every success in his new role."
