| 32nd America's Cup - Jury Announcement |
Valencia, 25th January 2006 - America's Cup Jury member Gabrielle
Kaufmann-Kohler has been nominated as a candidate to the Board of Directors
of a sponsor to one of the 12 America's Cup teams. The nomination will be
submitted to a vote of the shareholders at the general shareholders'
meeting in mid-April.Hence, to avoid any conflict of interest, Gabrielle
Kaufmann-Kohler has made it clear that she will withdraw from the Jury for
the 32nd America's Cup if elected a member of the Board. She adds that she
would very much regret having to leave her functions as a Jury member, but
that this move was required to ensure that the Jury remained a fully
independent body |
