(d)  On July 1, 2009, Clare Spottiswoode was appointed as an independent director of the Board of Directors of EnergySolutions, Inc. (the “Company”) for a term commencing on July 1, 2009, and expiring at the Company’s 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Ms. Spottiswoode is known for her work as a former Director General of Ofgas (1993-98), the regulator of the gas industry in the United Kingdom. As Director General she spearheaded the introduction of choice and competition in the provision of UK gas products and services. In November 2006, she was appointed as the first policyholder advocate representing the interests of with-profits policyholders in Norwich Union’s proposed reattribution of inherited estates.  During her career Ms. Spottiswoode has also acted as an economist at HM Treasury, lectured at London Business School, and set up and managed private business interests. She has held a number of non-executive directorships including deputy chairman of British Energy. Currently, as well as her policyholder advocate role, Clare is a non-executive director at Tullow Oil plc and non-executive director of Bergesen, a gas and shipping company, as well as chairman of Gas Strategies, an energy consultancy.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Spottiswoode and any other person, pursuant to which she was elected as a director. Ms. Spottiswoode’s compensation as a director will be provided on the same basis as that provided to the Company’s other non-management directors, as further described in the Company’s Proxy Statement, filed April 29, 2009, at pages 23 through 25.
