British brewer SABMiller Plc's (SAB.L,SBMRY.PK) board has granted medical leave of absence to its Chairman, Graham Mackay, for him to focus on his continuing treatment following his brain tumour surgery in April 2013. For the time being, John Manser, Deputy Chairman, would continue as acting Chairman.
The board would keep the position under review as Mackay's treatment progresses, and an announcement about the future would be made as soon as any definitive decisions are taken.
Considering John Manser's increased time commitments and responsibilities as acting Chairman, Manser stood down as chairman of the audit committee on June 5, 2013, a year before than originally planned, and retired from the audit and remuneration committees, with Mark Armour succeeding Manser as the audit committee's chairman.
