Anglo American’s Finance Director, René Médori, to retire in 2017 after 12 years
Anglo American plc (“Anglo American” or “the Company”) announces that René Médori,
Finance Director, has informed the Board of his decision to retire when he reaches the age of
60 in 2017, in order to enable an orderly succession.
The Board is initiating a formal process to appoint a successor, which will include internal and
external candidates. Mr Médori will continue to serve in role until the appropriate time to ensure
a smooth transition.
Sir John Parker, Chairman of Anglo American, said: “On behalf of the Board of Anglo American,
I would like to thank René for his dedication and tremendous contribution over more than a
decade. The cyclicality of the mining industry presents the widest array of challenges and
René’s professionalism has served the Company well.”
Mark Cutifani, Chief Executive of Anglo American, added: “René has served Anglo American
with the utmost loyalty and we understand his decision to step back in due course. I have been
personally grateful for his support following my appointment as Chief Executive and in helping
to establish the roadmap to a new Anglo American.”
René Médori commented: “It has been a great privilege to serve as Finance Director of Anglo
American. With a clear strategy in place and with our asset disposal programme expected to be
well advanced by the time I step down, now is the right time for the Board to consider my
successor.”
A further announcement will be made when appropriate.
