Retirement of Director, Grant and Exercise of Warrants
Retirement of Non-Executive Director
Nigel Burton, a Non-Executive Director, has informed the Company that he will retire from the Board with effect from 31 March.
John Zorbas, Chairman of MRS said:
"I would like to thank Nigel for his significant contribution to the Company, both in the period prior to his appointment and in his role as a Director since April 2017. Nigel was instrumental in the success of the placing and re-admission to AIM and has played an important role in the subsequent transformation of the Company. Nigel has recently taken on additional commitments elsewhere, and we wish him every success in these new ventures."
Nigel Burton commented: "I'm pleased to have had the opportunity to work closely with the Board, senior management and advisers to return the shares from suspension and effect the changes required to make MRS a successful business. With the appointment of Paul Brenton as CEO in December and the recent release of the interim results which confirm the return to profitability, this is an appropriate opportunity for me to leave the Board, confident that the future of the Company is in safe hands."
The Board intends to seek a suitably qualified candidate to be appointed as an additional independent non-executive director.
