Efficient Group Limited announced that, with effect from 8 October 2012, non-executive director Mr. Mickey Giles has resigned from the board of directors of the company for personal reasons. Mr. Giles was also the chairperson of the company's audit and risk committee and, although the board remains duly constituted, his resignation does create a vacancy on this committee. As an interim measure, the board has resolved to appoint Ms Mariam Cassim, a non-independent non-executive director, to fill this vacancy and has furthermore nominated Ms Lynette Taylor, a current member of the audit and risk committee and an independent non-executive director, to act as interim chairperson.
