Anglo Platinum wishes to announce that Martin Shaw, the recently retired Chairman of Deloitte & Touche in Southern Africa and who was recently appointed to the Board as Deputy Chairman, has tendered his resignation with immediate effect. Martin's decision flows from a close review of international practices and regulations governing the relationship between audit firms and their client companies and directorships of those companies.
To ensure that no conflict arises now or in the future, it was deemed appropriate that Martin, who continues as global chairman of Deloitte Consulting, resign his position from the Board of the Anglo American Platinum Corporation Limited.
The company is pleased to announce that Tom Wixley, who last month retired as Chairman of Ernst & Young SA, has agreed to join the Board as Deputy Chairman, with effect from today.
