North American Palladium announced that Mr. Robert Quinn has been appointed as its Chairman, effective March 4, 2013.
Mr. Quinn has been a member of NAP’s Board of Directors since June 2006. A 30-year industry veteran, Mr. Quinn is a founding partner of the Houston mining transactional law firm, Quinn & Brooks LLP. Previously, he served as Vice President and General Counsel for Battle Mountain Gold Company. He has extensive public company board experience with a specialty in corporate governance, M&A transactions, public disclosure, governmental affairs, environmental law, and land management.
Mr. Quinn succeeds Mr. André Douchane, who has been NAP’s Chairman for the last 7 years. Mr. Douchane is relinquishing his role as Chairman in order to perform Chief Executive Officer responsibilities until NAP names new CEO, which allows NAP to be governed by an independent Chairman. In its announcement, NAP’s Board of Director expressed its appreciation to Mr. Douchane for his valuable contribution to NAP as Chairman and looks forward to his continued guidance.
The company’s Board of Directors is actively searching for a new CEO. A formal search process is underway through a leading Canadian executive recruiting organization. NAP will update shareholders when the successful candidate is named.
