Abano Healthcare Group has advised that the Board will appoint Trevor Janes to the position of chairman at the close of the company’s annual meeting on 7 November 2011, following a decision by Alison Paterson to step down from that role.
Under the company’s constitution, Alison Paterson is due to retire next year, at the 2012 annual meeting. She has advised the Board that she will not be seeking re-election at that time. To facilitate an orderly transition, Alison will remain as an independent director on the Board until the 2012 annual meeting.
