MEDIA RELEASE
RESIGNATION OF CHAIR AND
APPOINTMENT OF NEW CHAIR
Johannesburg, 13 February 2013: The Chair of Gold Fields Limited
(Gold Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI), Dr Mamphela
Ramphele, has announced her resignation from the Company’s Board
of Directors with immediate effect. Dr Ramphele has decided to retire
as Chair to further her socio-economic and political work. She has
resigned from most of her private sector directorships and will
relinquish all other remaining private sector directorships and
positions to focus on these activities.
Gold Fields non-executive director, Cheryl Carolus, will succeed Dr
Ramphele as Chair of the Company with immediate effect. Ms Carolus
was appointed a director of Gold Fields on 10 March 2009. She is
Executive Chair of Peotona Group Holdings Ltd and is a director of
Investec and De Beers, amongst others.
Dr Ramphele said: “I am pleased that during my tenure at Gold Fields
significant progress has been made in entrenching the sustainability
of the Company’s operations worldwide. I also believe that the
separate listing and unbundling of the Company’s KDC and Beatrix
mines into Sibanye Gold will provide the South African operations with
the dedicated and focused management as well as full control over
their cash flows to extend their life of mine in a sustainable manner to
the benefit of investors, employees and communities.
“I would like to thank my fellow directors and the Gold Fields
management team, led by CEO Nick Holland, for their support over
the past two-and-a-half years. It’s been a privilege working with them,”
Dr Ramphele said.
Dr Ramphele was appointed to the Board of Gold Fields Limited on 1
July 2010 and chaired the Board from 2 November 2010. She also
served on various Board Committees during her tenure.
The Board and management of Gold Fields thank Dr Ramphele for
her significant contribution to the Company and her leadership of the
Board and wish her every success in her new ventures.
