Lim’s resignation is effective immediately and sees him step down from the board. The group said he will continue to “provide assistance” to the company until his replacement is appointed, including work in relation to the company’s 2015 year-end audit.

“A search for a replacement has been initiated and a review of potential candidates is underway. Further announcements will be made in due course,” the group said.

“The board would like to thank Sean for his significant contribution to AFG and in particular his support during AFG’s important first year as a public company,” it added.

In September last year the group announced it was looking to widen its US presence after a deal with California-based wholesaler Yihe International Corp.
