Lithium Australia NL announced that Mr. Bryan Dixon will retire as a non-executive director. His functions in that capacity will be fulfilled by Ms Kristie Young, who was recently appointed to the board. This orderly rotation strengthens the independence of the board, which now consists of two independent non-executive directors and the managing director. The director rotation will also add diversity to the board, with Ms Young bringing a wealth of experience gained via her business development roles with major accounting firms PwC Australia and Ernst & Young. Mr. Dixon, who joined the company as a non-executive director in December 2009, has served the board well over the past 11 years. He assisted in the transition of the company from a base-metal explorer to a sustainable supplier of energy metals to the battery industry. During the last 12 months, Mr. Dixon has provided additional consulting services to the company in respect of fundraising and corporate management. Moving forward, Mr. Dixon will continue to provide the Company with consulting services while serving as non-executive chairman of company subsidiary Envirostream Australia Pty Ltd. and as a director of company subsidiary Envirostream UK Ltd. Date that director ceased to be director was January 27, 2021.
