TP Group plc
("TP Group" or the "Company")
Appointment of Chief Executive Officer and update on sale of the Maritime Engineering business
Further to the announcement made on 6 July 2021, the Board has now completed a detailed review of the business and a number of opportunities to significantly improve performance have been identified.
Following this review, David Lindsay is now appointed as permanent CEO, subject to completion of the standard on-boarding process being undertaken by the Company's nominated adviser. A further announcement will be made in due course in this regard, which shall contain all necessary disclosures pursuant to Schedule Two, paragraph (g) of the AIM Rule for Companies.
In addition, as announced previously, the Company had received a number of expressions of interest to acquire its Maritime Engineering business. Whilst there was significant interest and offers were made, they did not meet the Board's valuation expectations and the Board has decided to withdraw the Maritime business from sale.
The Company is trading in line with market expectations and there remain significant market opportunities and strong customer relationships which give the Board confidence for the future. A further update will be made to shareholders in due course.
