Commenting on the appointment, Mr Alan O'Brien, Chief Executive of Sabien said:

'I am delighted to welcome Bruce to the Board as a director. Bruce has been an investor in Sabien since July 2009 and firmly believes in the Company's new strategy of delivering free pilots to its pipeline of potential customers in order to scale up the number of pilot projects delivered and increase the predictability of contract award and start dates. Bruce has shown this commitment to the new strategy through his direct and indirect (through TVI 2 Limited) participation in the recent placing. I have no doubt that Bruce's skills will be invaluable in rolling the strategy out and ensuring that the Company delivers on it.'
