Microsaic Systems plc
("Microsaic" or the "Company")
Resignation of Chief Executive Officer
Microsaic (AIM: MSYS), announces that, after what will have been over 7 years of service, Glenn Tracey, has notified the Board that he will be stepping down from his role as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO") with effect from the date of the Company's next Annual General Meeting ("AGM"), to pursue a non-competitive opportunity. Until that time, Glenn will remain as CEO and Director. The Company and Glenn will also co-ordinate an orderly handover of his responsibilities during this period.
The Company will shortly therefore commence a formal process to identify and appoint a successor CEO. Pending this appointment and to support the orderly handover in due course, Gerry Brandon, Non-executive Chairman, will temporarily play a more active role in the running of Microsaic's business.
The Company has also been making good progress with regard to the recruitment process for sourcing additional independent non-executive directors to the Board and reasonably expects to make at least one such appointment before the next AGM.
Gerry Brandon, Chairman commented:
"Over his tenure, Glenn has played a valuable role in converting the Compact Mass Spectrometry technology from development stage to a high margin commercial focused business, redefining the strategy towards solving real-world problems in Environmental and Human Health. On behalf of everyone at Microsaic, the Board wishes him every success for the future."
Further announcements will be made in due course.
