Group CFO resigns - Announcement no. 3/2014
The divestment of the Venezuelan food business Plumrose Latinoamericana C.A. ("Plumrose") entails a significant simplification of the EAC Group's structure, financial reporting and work- flows. As a natural consequence of these changes, Group CFO Michael Østerlund Madsen will leave EAC end-March 2014.
Michael Østerlund Madsen's responsibilities within finance and reporting will be transferred to Group Finance Director Jesper Dahlsgaard while CEO Niels Henrik Jensen will assume the re- sponsibility for Investor Relations.
"Michael has been a key player in the transformation of EAC adding strong analytical, reporting and accounting skills to the Group. We appreciate his efforts and wish him all the best," says President & CEO Niels Henrik Jensen.
Yours sincerely,
The East Asiatic Company Ltd. A/S
