COST REDUCTIONS
SA
Armour is taking steps to reduce corporate costs by a minimum of 35%. This includes all head office staff reducing remuneration
by 20% and unfortunately includes a number of redundancies. The Executive Chairman and Non-Executive Directors have also
reduced their fees by 20%. Future consideration will be given to the partial payment of Director fees in shares, subject to any
necessary shareholder and regulatory approvals.
In addition, Armour is seeking to reduce to the full extent possible all other overheads including contractor hours and rates,
administration costs and office rent. These remuneration reductions are anticipated to remain in place for at least a six-month
period and will be reviewed and updated as and when required.
