Appointment of new chair
Today, the Princess Board welcomes Peter McKellar as the new Chair, following an extensive recruitment process. As part of his initial responsibilities, Mr. McKellar, together with the other directors, will be focusing on further strengthening the Board with the recruitment of a minimum of two additional Non-Executive Directors before the next Annual General Meeting. These appointments will bolster the Board's expertise to ensure it has the necessary skills and experience to support the strategic direction of the Company. Additionally, the Board is committed, in the near term, to working with the Company's investment manager to enhance engagement with current and prospective shareholders and to establishing a clear and robust capital allocation policy appropriate to the Company's investment strategy, portfolio liquidity and prevailing market conditions. The Board reiterates its strong commitment to the dividend objective, which it recognises is important to many Princess shareholders.
We would also like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Fionnuala Carvill for stepping in as the Interim Chair since Richard Battey's retirement earlier this year. We appreciate the leadership Ms. Carvill provided during her tenure and are grateful for her service to the Company.
