Kathmandu boss Halkett on extended leave after complications from routine surgery

Kathmandu managing director Peter Halkett will take up to three months of extended leave to recuperate from a severe infection, the outdoor equipment retailer says.

Halkett suffered the infection during a routine medical procedure last week, interim chairman John Harvey said in a statement. Finance director Mark Todd will be acting CEO until Halkett returns.

The shares last traded unchanged at $2.53 and have gained 27 percent this year.
