eServGlobal Limited (eServGlobal or the "Company")
Resignation of Director
Sydney: 30 December 2013
eServGlobal Limited, the provider of end-to-end mobile financial services to emerging markets, announces that Director Craig Halliday has resigned following the formation of the HomeSend Joint Venture (JV) with MasterCard and BIC's which was announced on 19 December 2013.
The Board would like to thank Craig for the instrumental role he has played in bringing the formation of the HomeSend JV deal with MasterCard to a positive conclusion.
Craig came to eServGlobal in June 2009 during the Global Financial Crisis and during some very challenging times for the company. During his tenure as COO, CEO and Director he played a major part in turning eServGlobal into the thriving business it is today. Craig was instrumental in the sale of the prepaid charging platform to Oracle in 2010 after which he restructured and led eServGlobal to a leadership position in the mobile money market. He led the management team in the restructuring of the business and the formation of the leadership team we have in place today that has brought the company back to profitability.
Craig's final task as Executive Director was to realise the potential of HomeSend and today's announcement of a Market changing Joint Venture with MasterCard brings HomeSend to a new and exciting level. This deal moves HomeSend into a market leadership position and with it fulfils Craig's commitments to the company.
The Board thanks Craig for his exceptional service and accepts his wish to now stand down from the Board to pursue another executive role in a non-financial services software business.
Craig Halliday commented, "I would like to thank the Board, shareholders and employees of eServGlobal for their support. The Company has established itself as a leading mobile money vendor and with the establishment of the HomeSend JV with MasterCard shows great potential for continued growth and success. I have the greatest level of confidence that under the guidance of the management team and Board eServGlobal will continue to generate positive results for many years to come."
Following Craig Halliday's resignation there has been a restructure of Mr Halliday's holdings in MHB Holdings Pty Ltd ("MHB Holdings") and Paua Pty Ltd ("Paua") which are reflected in the attached 3Y, 3Z and notices of ceasing to be a substantial holder.
None of these transfers have changed the beneficial interest in eServGlobal shares held by any of the parties.
