<div class="hugin">Höskuldur Ari Hauksson, Managing Director and Head of Capital Markets, has decided to resign from his position at Straumur-Burdaras Investment Bank. &nbsp;"I've reached this decision taking into account that the market environment has led to a certain shift of emphasis at Straumur and the opportunities are different from what they were before," says Höskuldur. Straumur thanks Höskuldur for his contribution to the Bank and wishes him well.</div>
