At an Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (EGMS) in Jakarta today, the Bank's shareholders approved the appointment of two highly rated Indonesian bankers with extensive local and global experience to its Board of Directors. The EGMS is also related to the recent resignation of Honggo Widjojo Kangmasto as Director of PermataBank.
David Fletcher, PermataBank's President Director remarked, "I am delighted to welcome the new nominated Directors to our team. Their professionalism and broad global and Indonesian experience will substantially strengthen the Board and help accelerate PermataBank's growth."
"On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to express our sincere appreciation to Honggo Widjojo Kangmasto for his contribution and leadership during his years with the Bank. Since joining PermataBank in mid 2008, 'Honggo' has devoted enormous energy, talent and thought to making the Bank's Wholesale Banking a stronger, more integrated and mature franchise. Among the Bank's many achievements under his leadership, PermataBank was appointed by KSEI as one of the four designated payment banks for transactions settlement in the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2009, and was recently awarded as the Best Bank for Cash Management in Indonesia by Asian Bankers."
Shareholders endorsed the appointment of Roy Arman Arfandy to succeed Honggo as a Director of PermataBank. Prior to this nomination, Roy serves as the Head of Client Relationship and also as Acting Head of Business Development & Strategy in PermataBank.
Mirah Wiryoatmodjo, a highly regarded Indonesian banker with considerable experience, has been appointed as PermataBank's new Compliance Director. Mirah previously served as the Director - Country Compliance and Control Officer at Citibank Indonesia. As such, she is well qualified for what is an increasingly important role for PermataBank.
David remarked, "The appointment of both Roy and Mirah reflects our commitment to developing and recognizing extraordinary local banking talents. Furthermore, Roy's nomination demonstrates the Bank's continued investment in its human resources as it identifies, nurtures and develops talents from within the organization. With their experience and professionalism, they will play key roles as we continue to rapidly drive the Bank forward".
There is no change done to the Bank's Board of Commissioners and Sharia Supervisory Board. All of the appointments are subject to approval by Bank Indonesia and will become effective thereafter.
