Directorate change
PROACTIS Holdings PLC, the specialist Spend Control software provider, announces that Rod Jones has today tendered his resignation as a director of the Company and from his position as Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). Rod is 64 years old and after 14 years of service has given notice in order to retire. Rod will work his 12 month notice period to ensure an orderly handover of responsibilities and, during this period, the Company's current Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), Tim Sykes, will be the CEO Designate whilst the Company commences a search for a new CFO. Rod is beneficially interested in 1,952,720 ordinary shares representing c.4.0 per cent. of the current issued share capital of the Company. In addition, Rod holds options over a total of 1,070,960 ordinary shares at a weighted average exercise price of 47.4p per ordinary share.
Alan Aubrey, Non-Executive Chairman, commented:
"Rod has been the CEO of PROACTIS since 2002 and has grown the Company from a small start-up, through floatation into its current position as the UK's leading supplier of Spend Control solutions and an emerging global player. He will be missed by all when he does retire but will leave behind a very strong team to execute the Company's strategy and accelerate its progress."
