Director Retirement

Martin Adams, who has been a Director of the Company since February 2013, has indicated his intention to retire from the Board so will not stand for re-election at the Company’s AGM, to be held on 10 December 2018. Commenting Mr. Adams’ retirement, Chairman Steven Bates said:  

“Martin has brought to the Board a deep understanding of the business environment in Vietnam which will be hard to replicate. He combines this with extensive knowledge of the closed end fund world and a forensic attention to investment detail. It is usual in statements like this to make anodyne remarks about an outgoing director, but in this case, the Board’s thanks and appreciation are heartfelt. We really do wish Martin all the best for the future.”

Chair of Management Engagement Committee

Martin Adams will step down from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM on 10 December 2018. Following Mr Adams’ retirement, Julian Healy will become Chair of the Board’s Management Engagement Committee.
