March 8 (Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc, Europe’s largest oil company, will maintain its links with the biggest Dutch bank by naming ABN Amro Holding NV’s chief executive officer as a Shell director when a former ABN banker retires from Shell’s board.
Shell intends to elect ABN Amro’s Rijkman Groenink as a non- executive director at its annual general meeting on May 15, to replace Shell director Aarnout Loudon, The Hague-based Shell said in a statement today. Loudon is a former chairman of ABN Amro’s supervisory board, according to Shell.
About half of Shell’s 15-member board is made up of bankers.
