RESIGNATION OF MARKS & SPENCER NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Marks and Spencer Group plc is announcing that in view of her increasing
commitments to London's bid for the Olympic Games for 2012, Barbara Cassani has
resigned from the Board as a Non-Executive Director, with effect from 30 April
2004.
Luc Vandevelde, Chairman said: 'I am sorry that Barbara has decided to leave the
Board, but I fully understand her desire to concentrate solely on bringing the
Olympics to Britain in 2012. Marks & Spencer would not wish to distract her in
any way from such an important cause and my colleagues on the Board join me in
wishing Barbara success and thank her for her contribution.'
Barbara Cassani said: 'Whilst I would have liked to stay longer at Marks &
Spencer, I do not believe I am able to give the role of Non-Executive Director
the attention it deserves without it affecting my focus on the task of leading
the Olympic bid.'
