How to read it

This is a retirement on superannuation, not an abrupt exit, and the successor was identified and announced about three months in advance. The role covers legal and compliance matters rather than business or financial operations, so the change is administrative in nature. The update was also copied to the New York Stock Exchange and the Singapore Exchange, where the Bank's securities are listed.
