Coral Products PLC
("Coral" or "the Company")
Re Directorate
The Board of Coral wishes to announce the following board changes;
Geoffrey Piper, Chairman, has decided not to offer himself for re-election at the forthcoming AGM and will retire from the Board at the conclusion of this AGM. Joe Grimmond, Director, who will be offering himself for re-election to the Board, has agreed, subject to his re-election, to act as Chairman following Geoffrey's resignation.
Kathryn Davenport, a non- executive Director has resigned from the board with immediate effect.
Geoffrey Piper commented:
"Having been on the Board for 16 years and seen the Company through difficult times, I feel now is the time to step down. I believe Coral is now well positioned to grow into a more broadly based manufacturing group and that Joe is ideally qualified to lead the Board in this process. I would also like to thank Kathryn for her valuable contribution."
