Resignation and appointment of directors
Further to the announcement on behalf of Synergy Africa on 9 December 2010, in
which Synergy Africa declared the Offer unconditional in all respects and
announced that the Warrant Offer had become unconditional, Chromex announces the
following changes to its board of directors.
Each of the existing Chromex Directors (being Russell Lamming, Graham Stacey,
Brian Moritz, James Burgess and Robert Sinclair) has tendered his resignation as
a director with effect from yesterday, which has been accepted by Chromex. As
previously set out in the Offer Document, Graham Stacey will continue to be
employed by one of Chromex's subsidiaries.
Thomas Hoyer, Alistair Ruiters and Danko Koncar, who are the directors of
Synergy Africa, were appointed to Chromex's board of directors with immediate
effect yesterday.
Other than the details disclosed below, there is no further information required
to be disclosed under Rule 17 or Schedule 2 (g) of the AIM Rules for the new
directors.
Cancellation of trading in Chromex Shares
In its announcement on 9 December, Synergy Africa stated that it had requested
Chromex to make an application to the London Stock Exchange for the cancellation
of trading in Chromex Shares on AIM. Chromex has now applied for the delisting
and it is anticipated that such cancellation will take effect at 7:00am (London
time) on 11 January 2011.
Chromex Shareholders should note that the delisting of Chromex Shares will
significantly reduce the liquidity and marketability of any Chromex Shares which
are not assented to the Offer.
Additional information in relation to the new directors
None of the new directors owns any Chromex Shares or Chromex Warrants.
