Annual General Meeting ("AGM")
Cambridge, UK, 2 May 2013 - ARM Holdings plc [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMH)] announces that the AGM of the Company was held today at which the Chairman, Sir John Buchanan paid tribute to Warren East who, as announced in March 2013, will be stepping down as CEO to be replaced by Simon Segars with effect from 30 June 2013.
Sir John Buchanan, Chairman said:
"Warren has transformed ARM during his time as CEO. In 2001 ARM had one processor product line found mainly in mobile phones. Now ARM provides the broadest portfolio of technologies in the industry, used by more than 300 semiconductor customers in nearly 9 billion chips last year. During Warren's tenure the Company has received royalties for over 40 billion ARM-based chips. As CEO he has created a strong platform for growth and consistently created value for shareholders even in a challenging external environment. On behalf of the Board, and the wider ARM team, thank you Warren for your passion, service and leadership."
"The Board is delighted to have someone of Simon Segars' experience and calibre within ARM to appoint to the role of CEO. Following an extensive review of candidates worldwide, Simon's proven technology expertise and management skills across a range of senior executive roles made him an excellent CEO candidate and highly qualified to take the company forward. The Board looks forward to continuing to work with Simon to build on the strong momentum that has been created over the past years."
