Sundance Energy Australia Limited announced the casual appointment of Mr. Thomas L. Mitchell to serve as an independent non-executive director on the Company's Board of Directors, effective immediately. Mr. Mitchell will serve on both the Company's Audit and Risk Management and Remuneration committees. The addition of Mr. Mitchell to the Board will bring the total to six directors, including five independent non-executive and three U.S. based directors. Further to this new appointment, the Board currently has a process underway to appoint another director in order to further enhance its skill sets and which would result in an uneven number of Directors.
