Dear Rob:
It has been an honor to serve on the Penn Virginia Corporation Board of Directors over the last ten years. The company has made dramatic changes which I hope will achieve a very high level of success. At the pleasure of the board and in conjunction with Penn Virginia’s divestiture of Penn Virginia GP Holdings, I hereby resign from my position as a member of the Board of Directors of Penn Virginia Corporation effective immediately.
Very truly yours, |
