Within the Circular, XORTX provides clarification of a misreported statement – disclosure of Patrick Treanor’s board attendance in the Circular under the section Participation of Directors in Board Meetings was incorrectly reported. Patrick Treanor was not a member of the board at the time any of the seven meetings for the year 2023 took place. Therefore, his “Attendance / Number of Board Meetings” record would more accurately be disclosed as 0/0 as opposed to 0/7.
