Ms. Farlow has been Chairman of PSH since its public listing in October 2014 and, consistent with the requirements of the AIC Code for directors serving more than nine years, will not submit herself for re-election.
As previously disclosed, the Board has selected Rupert Morley to become Chairman of PSH, subject to his reelection at the 2024 AGM.
