Piet Beyers will be retiring from the board of Richemont on June 30, 2007, and, as a consequence, he will also be resigning as a non-executive director from the board of British American Tobacco p.l.c. with effect from the same date, according to a note posted on the BAT website. R & R Holdings S.A. is expected to nominate a new director to represent Richemont's interests in BAT 'in due course'. BAT chairman, Jan du Plessis, said: "I would like to thank Piet for the contribution he has made to our board and wish him every success for the future". Enditem
