Appointment of Chief Executive Officer and Notice of EGM

 

Further to the announcement of 7 June 2016 and the interim results announcement of 8 September 2016, Amiad (AIM: AFS), a leading global producer of water treatment and filtration solutions, today announces the appointment of Mr. Dori Ivzori as designated Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ivzori will also join the Board of the Company immediately following approval by shareholders of his appointment as a Director, in accordance with Israeli Law, at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Company (the "EGM") to be held on 3 November 2016. Mr. Arik Dayan, the outgoing CEO, will step down from the Board at that time, however he will remain to assist with an orderly handover.

As Managing Director, he was responsible for the strategic direction of Tama Plastics, including M&A in Europe and the USA, and the running of the day-to-day operations. Tama Plastics is a world-leading manufacturer of cutting-edge agricultural technology with a turnover of over US$500m and more than 1,300 employees spread across nine production sites and 15 subsidiaries. Prior to his promotion to Managing Director, Mr. Ivzori held other senior posts at Tama Plastics since 2000. Mr. Ivzori was admitted to the Bar in Israel in 2000 and started his career in 1986 working in Kibbutz Mishmar Haemek, including four years managing the kibbutz's farming activity.

 

Eli Opper, Chairman of Amiad, commented: "We would like to thank Arik for all of his hard work over the last two decades and we wish him every success in his future endeavours.

 

"We are delighted to welcome Dori Ivzori to Amiad. His experience of running a large international corporation in the agricultural sector will be invaluable to the business as we take Amiad to the next level of growth. We look forward to working with him and benefiting from his expertise."

 

Dori Ivzori, designated Chief Executive Officer of Amiad, said: "Amiad Water Systems is one of the market leaders in water filtration and treatment solutions. It is an exciting time for Amiad as it consolidates after last year's turnaround and prepares for growth. Its innovative products and its global reach make it one of the best in the world and I am enthused about joining the Company. It is an exciting challenge for me and I will use my expertise and international experience to help grow the Company."

 

Other than that set out below, there are no other matters required to be disclosed pursuant to paragraph (g) of Schedule Two of the AIM Rules for Companies as regards Mr. Ivzori's appointment. Mr. Ivzori has no current shareholding in the Company.
