DSY - Discovery Holdings Limited - Leadership changes in Vitality Discovery Holdings Limited (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1999/007789/06 Share code: DSY ISIN: ZAE000022331 ("Discovery") LEADERSHIP CHANGES IN VITALITY At the end of March 2012, Alan Pollard, current CEO of Discovery Vitality in South Africa, will assume the leadership of Discovery`s US operations. Pollard will relocate to the US in mid 2012, and will retain his position as CEO of Vitality on an international basis. These moves serve to consolidate the US as a centre of excellence in the support of all Vitality International operations. Art Carlos will be leaving The Vitality Group (TVG), Discovery`s standalone Vitality capability in the US. Carlos will continue to consult to Discovery to help ensure a smooth transition of leadership. Gidon Novick, former joint CEO of Comair, will join Discovery as CEO of Discovery Vitality in South Africa, replacing Pollard. Novick is a chartered accountant by training, and holds an MBA from the Kellogg School of Management in Chicago, USA. During his highly successful career at Comair, he founded Kulula, South Africa`s first low-cost airline; and was instrumental in developing both the British Airways and Kulula offerings into leading travel brands. With his entrepreneurial experience, and having been involved with Vitality as a key partner for many years, Novick is well placed to assume leadership.
