Board and Board Committee changes
The Board of Wm Morrison Supermarkets Plc (the "Company") announces the
following changes to its Board Committees and their membership following a
review carried out by its Nomination Committee:
A new standing committee, to be called the Corporate Compliance and
Responsibility ("CCR") Committee is to be established. The remit of this CCR
Committee will be to review and oversee, under delegated authority from the Main
Board (to which it will report regularly), the development and implementation of
policy in relation to health and safety, environmental, competition and ethical
compliance, corporate social responsibility, including Morrisons engagement with
community organisations and charitable, and governance and other reputational
management issues. The remit of the CCR Committee will not cover operational
matters but it will perform an oversight, monitoring and advisory role in
relation to these key areas in the Company's overall governance and development.
The CCR Committee will be chaired by Nigel Robertson, a non-executive director
and will also comprise the chairman, Sir Ian Gibson and Marc Bolland, Chief
Executive Officer as well as other senior management representatives.
As part of the Board's progressive succession strategy, Susan Murray, will
retire from the Board on 31 December 2009. In order to ensure a smooth
transition of responsibilities, Susan will hand over the chair of the
Remuneration Committee to Paul Manduca with immediate effect. Susan will remain
on the Board's Audit and Nomination Committees until her retirement from the
Board. Paul will remain as the Board's Senior Independent Director.
Commenting on Ms Murray's retirement from the Board, the chairman of Wm Morrison
Supermarkets Plc, Sir Ian Gibson said:
"The Board is extremely appreciative of Susan's efforts and valued contribution
throughout her four years as a Non Executive director and is grateful for the
support she has given to the Company through its business recovery and
development."
