EOH [JSE:EOH] has appointed non-executive director Jesmane Boggenpoel as interim board chairperson as the search for a permanent chairperson continues.
The IT service company made the announcement in a notice to shareholders issued on Friday evening, shortly after markets closed.
EOH shares, which opened at R14.36 per share on Friday morning, ended the day at R14.06.

Several other board members had also resigned.

"The board composition, after the required appointments, will be in line with the King IV requirements which make provision for a majority of independent non-executive directors, lead independent director and independent chairperson," the statement read.
