CSL Limited advised that the CSL Board of Directors has regretfully, but with mutual agreement, accepted Mr. Pascal Soriot's resignation from his position of Non-Executive Director, effective 1 February 2021. Mr. Soriot's departure from the Board was mutually agreed with Mr. Soriot, Chief Executive Officer of AstraZeneca PLC. He has resigned to avoid any potential future conflict of strategic interest between CSL and AstraZeneca that may arise due to the acquisition of Alexion by AstraZeneca. The acquisition, announced on 12 December 2020, is subject to a number of closing conditions that have not yet been satisfied.
