Question whether the ‘ well acquaintance’ ( business and social it would appear) interest between our Chairman of the Board Dr. David King and Gordon Grieve, Chairman of Partners of Piper Alderman the legal firm acting for us (Advangen) on the court case with Icon, was adequately disclosed by Dr. King to the Board and recorded in the company’s minutes. May we see those minutes?
If not disclosed, why not? Could it be a breach of the Corporations Act? Did we not know about this acquaintanceship until today’s revelation by Ozjin?
It again focuses on the questions of relevance and contribution of Dr. King to Cellmid. Mega2019 has been a protagonist on this in the past.
Dr. King is written up as a “geoscientist over 30 years in oil and gas and other natural resources industries “. His colleague Gordon Grieve has/or had non -executive directorship(s) in petroleum. On what basis was Piper Alderman engaged on the Icon case as opposed to any other firm. May we see the Costs Agreement between Advangen and Piper Alderman?
Dr. King, is said to have a PhD in seismology from ANU Canberra. It begs the reasonable question about relevance of his Chairmanship of our company. What alternative background, experience and achievements may be more apt for the Chairman to better serve the interests of stakeholders including us forgotten retail shareholders?
Has the CEO or any of the non-executive directors ever raised that important question of corporate governance? If not why not? When will we hear of it being raised and considered by the incumbent Board?
