A further announcement, including relevant details for Tony and Duncan, will be made at that time.

 

The existing Board of Tungsten looks forward to welcoming Tony and Duncan as colleagues and to working with them to capitalise on the exciting opportunities Tungsten enjoys for profitable growth.

 

Odey commented: "We have long been excited by the potential value available to Tungsten's shareholders from the scale of its e-invoicing network and its impressive client register. We appreciate the constructive discussions we have held with the Board to address our concerns. We are pleased to have agreed Tony's and Duncan's admission to the Board as an important step in the process towards maximising Tungsten's potential value on behalf of all shareholders in the future."

 

The Company's results will be released on 23 July 2018.
