Rose to Replace Leng at Genel Energy

Genel Energy plc announces that Jim Leng has indicated his intention to retire from the Board of Genel at the AGM in April 2016.
 
Jim Leng has served over five years at Genel as Non-Executive Director, Senior Independent Director and as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee.  Following his appointment in December 2015 as Non-Executive Chairman of Nomura Europe Holdings plc, Jim has decided that now is an appropriate time for him to stand down.
 
We are pleased to announce that George Rose will become Senior Independent Director of Genel following Jim's departure. The Nomination Committee will review the composition of the Board committees over the coming weeks.
