("FIH" or "the Company")
The Board of FIH is pleased to announce the appointment of
Robert Johnston to the Board of FIH as a non-executive director
with immediate effect.
Mr Johnston is an experienced non- executive director and
investment professional and has served on the boards of several
quoted companies in both North America and in UK, including Fyffes
PLC and Supremex, Inc.
Mr Johnston represents the Company's largest shareholder, "The
Article 6 Marital Trust, created under the First Amended and
Restated Jerry Zucker Revocable Trust dated 4-2-07" ("The Article 6
Marital Trust"), which has a beneficial holding of 3,596,553
ordinary Shares, representing 28.92% of the Company's issued share
capital.
Interim FIH chairman, Jeremy Brade, commented: "I am delighted
to welcome Rob Johnston to the Board of FIH. His quoted company
experience and business knowledge will prove of great value to the
Company and I look forward to working with him."
The Company has also received the resignation of Edmund Rowland
who, on the appointment of Mr Johnston, stands down as a
non-executive director. The Board would like to thank Mr Rowland
for his contribution to the Company since his appointment on 16
April 2013.
The Board confirms that it has engaged a firm of respected
consultants to conduct the search for a senior, experienced
non-executive director to act as independent Chair of FIH going
forward. The objective is to complete the appointment in time for
the approval of shareholders at the Company's Annual General
Meeting on 31 August 2017.
Further strengthening of the Board with another independent
non-executive director is expected to be announced following
arrival of the new chair.
