DAVID MORGAN RESIGNS AS DIRECTOR
It is with regret that the Board of BHP Billiton has today accepted the
resignation of Dr David Morgan as a Director.
Dr Morgan has advised that he has accepted an appointment as Managing
Director, JC Flowers, Europe and Asia Pacific, based in London.
Given the time demands of this position, Dr Morgan believes it is necessary to
relinquish all of his existing professional positions including his
Directorship of BHP Billiton.
Dr Morgan said, "I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of the Board during a
period of change and tremendous challenges. I wish the company and my Board
colleagues every future success."
Chairman Don Argus, said, "On behalf of the Board, I would like to express my
disappointment that Dr Morgan has chosen to depart BHP Billiton. Dr Morgan
was a highly committed and hard working Board member who made a valuable
contribution to the Board.
"From a personal point of view I have a great level of respect for David`s
professionalism and achievements and I wish him all the best in his new role."
