Golar LNG Limited Board Changes
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
In connection with today's Notice of AGM, Shareholders should note certain
changes to the proposed Board.
Chairman, Sir Frank Chapman, has decided not to stand for re-election at the
forthcoming AGM, to release the two days a week he currently commits to Golar to
focus on other interests. In addition Board member Kate Blankenship has decided
not to stand for re-election due to other professional commitments. Both members
have contributed significantly to the rapid expansion which currently takes
place in Golar. Of special importance has been Sir Frank's deep understanding of
the LNG market and his strategic thinking, and Miss Blankenship's very solid
skills within finance and accounting. The Board wants to thank both members for
their very valuable contributions and wish them the best in the future.
The Board has nominated Dan Rabun to succeed Sir Frank Chapman as Chairman after
the AGM planned for 23 September, 2015. Mr Rabun has a financial and legal
education and was, until May 2015, Chairman of Ensco PLC. He has a strong
energy background from Ensco and as managing partner in Baker McKenzie's Dallas
office. He is currently a Board member in Apache Corporation.
The Board is further pleased to announce that Niels Stolt Nielsen has accepted
to be nominated as a candidate to become a Board member. Niels Stolt Nielsen is
major owner and Chairman of the world's leading chemical carrier company, Stolt
Nielsen. He is also the Chairman and founding investor of the LPG Company,
Avance Gas. Mr Stolt Nielsen has extensive shipping, customer relations and
logistical experience which will benefit Golar in the years to come.
Sir Frank says in connection with his departure "It has been a very busy year
for Golar which has seen much progress on strategy, business development and
communications with our shareholders. The growing list of GoFLNG business
development opportunities serve to confirm the very significant potential of the
strategy, where the company currently enjoys an advantaged competitive position.
I wish Golar every future success in its delivery of this high potential
business proposition."
It is the intention of the Golar Board to replace the one vacancy created by
current changes over the coming months.
