Pebble Beach Systems Group plc (the "Company" or the "Group")
Group Restructuring
Following the sale of VCS, the Group has decided to pursue a cost reduction strategy, resulting in the closure of the Head Office function, which is no longer appropriate as the Company now has a single operating subsidiary, Pebble Beach Systems Limited which operates from a stand-alone site.
Accordingly notice of termination of his service contract has been served on John Hawkins, who has ceased, with immediate effect, to carry out the role of Executive Chairman.
Notice has also been served on the 6 members of the Head Office team.
John Varney, currently a Non-Executive Director, with a 35 year career in Broadcasting, Technology and Software will become Non-Executive Chairman, supported by the other two current Non-Executive Directors.
The 2016 results are expected to be announced on 31 March 2017.
There has been no change in the banking situation since the announcement of 6 February. Following the most recent meeting with the bank on 13 February 2017, the bank remains supportive of the Company.
