HALMA p.l.c.
It is with regret that the Board of Halma reports the death of Lord McGowan, a
non-executive Director of the Company.
Lord McGowan was appointed to the Halma Board as a non-executive Director in May
1997 and served as Senior Independent Director and chairman of both the
Remuneration and Audit Committees during the last six years. The Directors wish
to record their appreciation for the tremendous contribution Lord McGowan made
during his long association with the Group.
David Barber, Chairman, said, 'It is too early to form the words in which we can
express our loss. Duncan McGowan was an outstanding man, the most delightful of
companions and a true friend to all of us. We shall miss him immensely, and I
know that the sympathy of everyone in Halma goes out to his widow and to his
family.'
