Directorate Change - Chairman Graham Mackay Dies Following Illness
SABMiller plc sadly announces that Chairman Graham Mackay died peacefully this morning,
with his family at his side. The board has appointed acting Chairman John Manser as
Chairman with immediate effect, and has appointed Guy Elliott as Senior Independent
Director in succession to John Manser.
On behalf of the board of SABMiller, John Manser said:
“Our thoughts and prayers are with Graham’s wife and family. Graham was one of the most
inspirational and successful leaders in international business by any measure. Everyone in
the SABMiller family has been blessed by his vision, his loyalty, and his friendship during his
35 years with the group. He will be deeply missed. The board has every confidence that
under Alan Clark's leadership, we will continue to build on Graham's legacy, and fulfil his
vision to make SABMiller the most admired company in the global beer industry.”
The board will make a further announcement in due course about the appointment of a
Chairman to succeed John Manser for the longer term, but it is expected that to facilitate
succession planning and to allow an appropriate period of familiarisation and handover,
John Manser will defer his previously expected retirement date for approximately one year
to July 2015.
