The Board and Committee changes above demonstrate that the Oceana Board has embarked on a 3-year
transitionary succession plan in order to balance the institutional knowledge held by the long serving members of the
Board and to ensure that there is sufficient handover to the new Board members. The transitionary succession plan
is likely to be finalised by the 2025 Annual General Meeting of the Company and the Board remains committed to
ensuring that its succession plan maintains a leading position in respect of diversity on the Board.
The Chairman of the Board, Mustaq Brey noted: “The Board acknowledges the exceptional guidance and support that
has been provided by Zarina Bassa and extends its sincere thanks for her invaluable contribution during her tenure.
The Board is pleased with the respective appointments of Peter and Thoko as Audit and Remuneration Committee
Chair and I am positive that they will contribute effectively to these Committees. The Board has made great strides in
advancing its transitionary succession plan.”
