Appointment of New Director

PeerTV (AIM:PTV), a provider of technology solutions for the OTT (TV over the internet) market, is pleased to announce the appointment of Leon R. Nahon as Non-Executive Director and Chairman of the Company, with immediate effect.

Leon has been a chartered accountant for 50 years after qualifying in 1961. From 1961 to 1963 he worked at Touche, Ross, Bailey & Smart and then at Howard Howes & Co until 1965. In 1965 he joined Levy Gee where he stayed for 35 years, becoming senior partner and managing that company's AIM flotation in 2001. As Levy Gee was sold to Numerica and then Numerica to Vantis he stayed with those businesses until 2006, serving as a director of the audit departments and head of the Italian group businesses. After leaving Vantis in 2006 he started an independent financial advisory business for corporates and high networth individuals.

Ofer Barda, CEO of PeerTV stated: "It is with great pleasure that I welcome Leon to the Board. PeerTV will benefit significantly from his extensive knowledge and experience and his appointment markedly strengthens the financial and corporate governance dimension of the Board and the Company."
