Board Changes
Intermediate Capital Group PLC ("ICG") announces the intention of Tom Attwood to
retire as an executive director at the end of March 2012.
Tom was instrumental in raising initial capital for ICG in 1989 and became a
non-executive director in 1993 prior to joining the business in 1996 as a
Managing Director. Subsequently, he served as the Group's CEO from 2005 to 2010
before handing over to Christophe Evain.
Tom Attwood said: "I have always said I would like to retire by the age of 60
and now that deadline is looming. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at ICG and
while I am tremendously proud of everything we have achieved, I am proudest of
all of the quality of the team we have built. It is their hard work, integrity,
wisdom and humour which I will miss most and which, led by Christophe,
shareholders can rely upon to make ICG's future a great success."
Justin Dowley, Chairman, added: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank
Tom for the tremendous contribution he has made to ICG over the past 22 years.
During his time as CEO, ICG trebled third party assets under management and
became recognised as the leading global independent mezzanine provider and one
of the leading credit funds managers in Europe. He successfully led the Company
through the credit crisis in 2009 and, with Christophe and Philip, has
positioned the business to take advantage of the considerable opportunities that
are emerging in debt markets throughout the world."
