Changes to Tungsten Corporation's Board of Directors

 

Amendment of Notice of Annual General Meeting

 

 

Tungsten today announces it has strengthened its corporate governance with proposed changes to its Board as part of the leadership transition and operational review that began with Richard M. Hurwitz's appointment as CEO on 13 July 2015. The proposed changes will rebalance the Board to give it greater independence and enable it to support the strategy being developed by Mr. Hurwitz and his Executive team by adding Directors with complementary business and industry experience.

 

David Benello and Ian Wheeler are proposed to be appointed to the Board as Independent Non-Executive Directors ahead of Tungsten's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 24 September 2015, when they will stand for election. The Board will also appoint Nick Parker, currently Non-Executive Director and Non-Executive Chairman of Tungsten Bank plc, as Chairman of Tungsten Corporation plc, effective 24 September 2015.

 

Arnold Hoevenaars, Tungsten's Non-Executive Chairman, will retire by rotation from the Board at the AGM and not offer himself for re-election. In addition, Lincoln Jopp, currently an Executive Director, will retire from the Board at the AGM.

 

Rick Hurwitz, Tungsten CEO, commented:

"As we seek to upgrade many aspects of our business, the changes to our Board of Directors are representative of this transformation. Evident of our intent is the experience of our new Non-Executive Directors. David and Ian bring substantial technology, financial services and network experience which will be invaluable to the Company as it embarks on the next phase of its evolution."

 

A revised Notice of Annual General Meeting reflecting the above changes has been sent to shareholders and will shortly be available on the Company's website.

 

The Annual General Meeting of Tungsten Corporation plc is to be held at the offices of Ashurst LLP, Broadwalk House, 5 Appold Street, London EC2A 2HA on Thursday, 24 September 2015 at 2pm.
