Aradel Holdings Plc to Ratify New Director, Kerin Jayne Gunter, at Upcoming AGM

Aradel Holdings Plc is set to ratify the appointment of Ms. Kerin Jayne Gunter as a Non-Executive Director at its 30th Annual General Meeting (AGM) scheduled for May 28, 2025.

Ms. Gunter, a seasoned commercial lawyer with over 14 years of experience in corporate governance, international trade, and the oil and gas sector, joins the board as part of the company’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its leadership and governance structure.

Her appointment will be presented for formal shareholder ratification during the meeting, to be held at The Jewel Aeida Event Centre in Lekki, Lagos. Ms. Gunter holds an LLB from the University of South Africa and has a strong track record of guiding organizations through complex regulatory environments, mergers and acquisitions, and strategic restructuring.

In addition to this new appointment, Aradel has disclosed that three long-serving directors—Mr. Ladi Jadesimi (Board Chairman), Mr. Afolabi Oladele, and Mr. Ede Osayande—have attained the age of 70, in line with statutory disclosure requirements under Section 278(1) of the Companies and Allied Matters Act (CAMA) 2020. Mr. Oladele, who is also up for re-election by rotation, has indicated his willingness to continue serving on the board.

The disclosure of directors’ age and eligibility for re-election reflects the company’s commitment to transparency and good corporate governance, as shareholders prepare to vote on key board and management proposals.

The AGM will also feature deliberations on dividend declarations, amendments to the company’s Articles of Association, and proposed changes to Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration.
