Future changes to the board
In compliance with paragraph 3.59(a) and (b) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and Directive 4 of 2018
issued by the Prudential Authority, the board of Directors of Sasfin advises that, Mr Roy Andersen, the Chair of the
Board, and Mr Grant Dunnington will retire at the AGM on 25 November 2021, both having served on the Board for
more than nine years.
The Board has appointed Mr Gideon Petrus (Deon) de Kock as the new Chair, with his appointment effective from
25 November 2021. Deon joined the Board as an Independent Non-Executive Director in August 2020. Given Deon’s
experience, including having previously served as Chair of another South African bank, the Board is comfortable that
he can seamlessly move into the role of Chair.
We thank our Chair, Mr Roy Andersen and our longest serving Independent Non-Executive Director, Mr Grant
Dunnington, for their invaluable contributions over the years. We wish Mr de Kock, our in-coming Chair all the best
in his new role.
On behalf of the Board
