RETIREMENT AND APPOINTMENT OF NON-EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Shareholders were advised in the group's 2023 integrated report that
independent non-executive chairman David Nurek will retire from the board at the
annual general meeting ("AGM") to be held on 30 January 2025.
The group is pleased to announce the appointment of independent non-executive
director Mfundiso ("JJ") Njeke as chairman of Clicks Group from the conclusion of
the 2025 AGM.
JJ (65) was appointed to the group's board and audit and risk committee in 2020
and has served as the chair of the audit and risk committee and lead independent
director since 2022. He will not stand for re-election as a member of the group's
audit and risk committee at the 2025 AGM.
A chartered accountant by profession, JJ co-founded and served as group
managing director of Kagiso Trust Investments. He is a past chairman of the
South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. He is currently a non-executive
director of Motus Holdings (chairman), Datatec and Delta Property Fund. He will
retire from the Delta Property Fund board at that company's AGM on 29 August
2024 and plans to further reduce his external commitments over the next year.
David Nurek commented: "JJ's appointment is part of the structured succession
plan implemented in 2021 to refresh the composition of the board through the
phased retirement of long-tenured directors and the appointment of new board
members. Following a robust selection process we are pleased to appoint a new
chairman from within the ranks of the board which will ensure continuity in the
leadership of the group. We congratulate JJ and wish him well as he assumes his
new role in early 2025."
JJ Njeke commented: "David has served the board with distinction over the past
28 years. He has led the board during a period of unprecedented change and
growth in the business and we thank him for his astute and decisive leadership. It
is an honour to succeed David and to be appointed chairman of a company of the
stature of the Clicks Group."
