Amiad Water Systems Ltd.

("Amiad" or the "Company")

 

Result of AGM and appointment of Chairman & Non-Executive Director

 

Amiad, a leading global producer of water treatment and filtration solutions, announces that at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") of the Company held earlier today, all resolutions were duly passed, including the resolution electing Mr. Eli Opper as a Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company with immediate effect. Mr. Opper replaces Mr. Yeshua, whose resignation became effective at the conclusion of today's AGM along with that of Mr. Zeev Holender, who has been a member of the Board since 2009. The Company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Avraham Azani as a Non-Executive Director of the Company with immediate effect.

 

Mr. Eli Opper, aged 68, has over 45 years' experience in the global engineering and technology sectors.

He has held a array of high profile roles, including Chief Scientist at the Ministry of Economy in Israel from 2002 - 2010 and Chairman of intergovernmental organisation for innovation funding, EUREKA, where he lead the promotion of industrial research and development from 2010 - 2011. Mr. Opper began his career in 1968 as a Communication & Navigation Engineer in the Israeli Air Force before spending a year as a researcher at The Technion-Israel Institute of Technology. In 1973 he joined Rafael Advanced Defense Systems where he spent 27 years, holding several senior positions, including Vice President of Research and Development, Chief of Staff, Vice President of Advanced Topics and General Manager of the Electronic Systems Division. After leaving Rafael, he joined Giza Venture Capital before being appointed Chief Scientist. More recently, Mr. Opper has held, and continues to hold, a number of advisory roles focusing on R&D and innovation policy for both government organisations and companies. He has also presented at numerous conferences and is a well-known lecturer on R&D Policy and Economical Growth Engines.

 

Mr. Avraham Azani, aged 71, who is a member of Kibbutz Amiad (the "Kibbutz"), a significant shareholder in the Company, has over 40 years of business experience. He has spent the majority of his career at the Kibbutz , including as Finance Director. Since 2010, Mr. Azani has served as a Director of the Kibbutz and a member of its Economic Committee. His appointment as a Non-Executive Director of the Company follows him having sat as an observer on the Board of Amiad for the past two years.

  

Eli Opper, Chairman of Amiad, said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to express our gratitude to Tal for the tremendous work he undertaken and for what Amiad has achieved under his chairmanship. I am pleased to be taking over from him as the Company enters a new phase in its development with the successful penetration into new markets and growth in our traditional markets. I look forward to working with the other members of the Amiad Board to deliver shareholder value."

 

"It has been a great pleasure for me to be a part of the Amiad team over the last six years," added Tal Yeshua. "It has been a transformative period for the Company - with the entry into new geographies and segments. As Amiad returns to growth, I believe now is the right time to handover to Eli as Chairman so that the Company can leverage his vast experience and build on the strong foundations that have been established over the last few years."
