Caledonia Investments plc ("Caledonia" or the "Company") announces that its board has decided to appoint KPMG Audit Plc ("KPMG") as auditor of the Company.
Having engaged Deloitte LLP ("Deloitte") as Caledonia's auditor since 2006, the board, on the recommendation of the Audit Committee, decided that it was appropriate to put the group audit out to competitive tender. Following formal proposals and presentations from three audit firms, including Deloitte, KPMG was successful in this process.
Deloitte has consequently resigned as auditor of the Company and, as required by section 519(3) of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act"), has deposited with the Company a statement (the "Statement") of the circumstances connected with its ceasing to hold office. A copy of the Statement, together with an explanatory letter (the "Letter"), has been sent to shareholders for information only as required by section 520(2) of the Act and will shortly be available for inspection at the National Storage Mechanism at www.Hemscott.com/nsm.do.
