She will initially serve a term that will expire at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Ms. Macaskill is the non-executive chairman of First Eagle Holdings, Inc. and serves as senior adviser to First Eagle Investment Management and to its CEO. She was formerly president and chief executive officer of First Eagle, which she joined in 2009. With a heritage dating to 1864, First Eagle has $94 billion in assets under management.
Prior to joining First Eagle, Ms. Macaskill served as chief operating officer, president, chief executive officer and chairman of Oppenheimer Funds, Inc., where she is recognized for creating the Oppenheimer Funds’ Women & Investing program, dedicated to educating American women about the need to take charge of their personal finances. Ms. Macaskill has served on a number of public company and not-for-profit boards and is currently on the boards of Jupiter Fund Management plc., merchant banking firm Close Brothers plc., and the TIAA-CREF mutual funds.
A native of the United Kingdom, Ms. Macaskill earned a B.Sc. in Psychology from the University of Edinburgh and completed post graduate studies at the Edinburgh College of Commerce.
