The Board of Directors of Fortis proposes the appointment of two new independent non-executive directors
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
The Board of Directors will propose to the General Meetings of Shareholders of
28 and 29 April the appointment of Bridget F. McIntyre and Belén Romana as
independent non-executive directors for a period of three years until the
General Meetings of Shareholders of 2013.
These appointments are subject to the opinion of the Belgian regulator (CBFA).
Jozef De Mey, Chairman, said: "I am delighted to propose to our shareholders the
election of Bridget F. McIntyre and Belén Romana as new members of the Board of
Directors. When we established the new Board of Fortis, we stressed that we
would over time look for ways to further strengthen the Board based on bringing
in additional complementary skills and capabilities. These proposed appointments
help us to fulfill that objective, providing a new dimension to the Board and a
depth of experience and talent that will be of significant benefit to Fortis in
the future. Both candidates come to the table with exceptional foreign expertise
and strong operational track records in finance and insurance. Their
appointments, if approved by shareholders, will create a well-rounded
Board, which is essential for the further development of our company."
