Independent Director following Howard Wu's appointment to an
executive position. I am delighted that Martin Leitch has agreed to
take on this role. He will not only bring additional financial
expertise to the Audit Committee but more generally his business
strategy and corporate finance experience will add value to the
Board and its Committees".
