("Plant Health Care" or "the Company") Directorate Change
Plant Health Care, a leading provider of naturally-derived
products to the agriculture industry, announces that Dr.
Dominik Koechlin has decided, for personal reasons, to retire
from his position as Chairman and as a director with
immediate effect. The Company has started a process to
identify a suitable candidate to replace Dr Koechlin.
In the meantime, Sam Wauchope, the Company's Senior
Independent Director, will take over as
Interim Chairman. Mr Wauchope, who joined Plant Health Care
as a non-executive Director in
2004, is a chartered accountant who has been CEO or executive
Chairman of a number of UK-listed companies, including Acorn
Computer Group plc, Oceonics Group plc and Ultrasis plc.
Sam Wauchope said: "I would like to take this opportunity to
thank Dominik for his guidance and counsel over the past
three years. He leaves the company with strong technology and
product capabilities and with a sound platform to generate
revenue and shareholder returns.
"I look forward to assisting the Company in achieving its
commercial goals in my role as Interim
Chairman and to engaging with shareholders while we recruit a
Chairman."
As a result of Dr. Koechlin's retirement, Resolution 3
regarding his re-election as a director will be withdrawn
from the business to be considered at the Annual General
Meeting to be held on 19th April 2012.
