DNO's Helge Eide to resign at month's end

DNO International ASA announced that its long-serving Managing Director, Helge Eide, is stepping down effective 31 December 2012.

"After almost 17 years at DNO International, including the past 13 years as Managing Director, it was time to make way for a new generation of leadership," Eide said. He noted that he originally considered leaving his position in 2011 but extended his tenure to help navigate DNO International through its transformative merger with RAK Petroleum PCL that became effective early this year.

Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani, DNO International's Executive Chairman, said he accepted the decision with great reluctance but deep appreciation for Eide's dedicated service to the Company. "Helge leaves his position on a high note as 2012 has shaped up to be DNO International's best year ever by so many operational, financial and governance measures," he added.

DNO International has instituted a search for a replacement and in the interim has named Bjørn Dale, its General Counsel, to the additional position of Acting Managing Director.

Under Eide's termination agreement, he will continue to advise the Company on strategy and business development.
