- During the Meeting of the Board of Directors of Azkoyen, S.A., held on 2 June 2003, the then President Mr. José María Careaga Meabeanzorena and Director Mr. Enrique Goñi Beltrán de Garizurieta voluntarily resigned. The outgoing President justified his resignation based on the extended term he had served as a Board Member, a period during which deep changes had been brought about in Azkoyen S.A., which experienced extraordinary growth. He also mentioned that the challenges facing the Company in the near future require a new, decisive drive and a new team at the helm. The voluntary resignation of Mr. Enrique Goñi, who began serving on the Board of Azkoyen, S.A. when the number of the Company’s shares held by the Caja Navarra Corporate Group increased, was explained by this Board Member in that he considered that the reforms introduced at the time in the Company’s management structure and its strategic redesign were now in place and it was time to bring Mr. Juan Odériz San Martín, General Manager of the Corporate Group onto the Board. During the same Board Meeting, Mr. Javier Garde Garde, who until now held the post of Secretary, was appointed Board Member and Vice-president, assuming the duties of Board President until this post is filled. The appointments of Mr. Javier Garde and Mr. Juan Odériz come in the midst of a strategic and organisational redesign of the Company and they will be working closely with the new management team in the completion of the Strategic Plan 2003-2006. The Plan’s action lines will be explained at the General Meeting of Shareholder to be held this month. (Announced on 2 June 2003).
