As foreshadowed in the Energy Technologies Limited (EGY) FY2020 Annual Report, and in keeping with corporate governance guidelines, EGY acting Chairman and Director Alfred J Chown has resigned from the Board of EGY, effective 24th December 2020.  Mr Chown will remain as CEO of the business and remains a substantial shareholder in EGY. Mr Chown commented “that it has been the desire of both himself and the board to separate governance from management in clearly defined terms for some time and now that the business has substantially de-risked with the Bambach Rosedale manufacturing plant operational and operations set to achieve substantial growth, the time is opportune to adopt the next stage of the restructure”.

In addition to the resignation of Mr Chown, long term director Mr Gary A Ferguson has also tendered his resignation, effective immediately.

The Board thanks Gary for his support during his tenure.

The Board is pleased to announce the appointment of three new directors to the board, effective today.
