Anghel has been working with BCR since 1996.

The bank also nominated Valerian Ionescu, head of BCR’s capital market division, for a position of member in the stock exchange’s board.

Other candidates for board membership are Schroll Matjaz, an official of Franklin Templeton Investment Management, the sole administrator of Romanian investment fund Fondul Proprietatea (FP.RO), Adrian Lupsan, deputy general manager of Intercapital Invest, Nicolae Ghergus, board chairman and general manager of Confident Invest and Narcisa Oprea, a lawyer with Schoenherr & Asociatii.

Additional candidacies were submitted for Ioana Tanase, general manager of UniCredit CA-IB Securities and Eugen Voicu, owner and chairman of the board of Certinvest.

The shareholders of the Bucharest Stock Exchange will meet January 9 to discuss the dismissals of the acting board members, at a proposal submitted by a group of stockowners who own together 9.41% in the market operator.

Candidacies can be submitted by December 18.

The meeting agenda will also include a proposal to nominate three candidates for the board of the Bucharest Compensation House and another candidate for a managing position with the Central Depository. The two entities are part of the Bucharest Stock Exchange group.

The current board structure of the Bucharest bourse was voted in February 2010 and includes president Stere Farmache, vice-presidents Ciprian Zah (SSIF Broker) and Mircea Botta (Romcapital), and six other members. All board members were enlisted by default on the new list of candidates.
