Notice is hereby given that in accordance with the byelaws made under Lloyd’s Act 1982, the terms of office of the following members of the Council expire on 31 January 2011:
Working Member: Mr Nick Marsh
“C” External Member: Catlin Syndiacte Limited (represented by Mr Paul Jardine)
Pursuant to the Council Byelaw (No.18 of 1996) (as amended) (“the Byelaw”) the Council has directed that a ballot be held on 6 January 2011 to elect one working member and one “C” external member of the Council. The term of office for each of these vacancies shall be for three years and shall commence on 1 February 2011. Both of the above members of Council are eligible to stand again for election.
The Byelaw limits the eligibility of connected external and working members. As a consequence, additional vacancies may arise when the results of the election are known. In the event that such vacancies arise, they will be filled by the candidates with the next highest number of votes in the relevant constituency and the term of office will be for the unexpired term of office of the member resigning.
The members will be elected respectively from among the working and external members of the Society by postal ballot of those members of the Society whose names are shown, respectively, in Part I and Part II of the Register referred to in Schedule 1 of Lloyd’s Act 1982 on the date of this notice and who will still be members on the date of the ballot.
Nomination forms are available from the Council Secretariat, Floor 12, Lloyd’s, One Lime Street, London EC3M 7HA (telephone: 020 7327 5276; facsimile: 020 7327 6156; email renuka.fernando@lloyds.com).
Under the provisions of the Byelaw only those members whose names are shown on the relevant Part of the Register on the date when nominations close (10 November 2010) are entitled to nominate candidates.
Valid nominations for the vacancies will be accepted if received by the appointed scrutineers, Electoral Reform Services, The Election Centre, 33 Clarendon Road, London N8 0NW, not later than 1.00pm on 10 November 2010.
By order of the Council
