Directorate Change

 

Appointment of Director

 

The Board of Mobius Investment Trust plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Diana Dyer Bartlett as an independent non-executive director of the Company, with effect from 17 March 2025.

 

After qualifying as a chartered accountant with Deloitte Haskins & Sells, Diana spent five years in investment banking with Hill Samuel. Since then, she has held a number of executive roles including as finance director of various venture capital and private equity backed businesses and listed companies involved in software, financial services, renewable energy and coal mining. She was also Company Secretary of Tullett Prebon plc and Collins Stewart Tullett plc. She is currently also a non-executive director and audit committee chair of Smithson Investment Trust plc and Mid Wynd International Investment Trust plc as well as senior independent non-executive director and audit and risk committee chair of Schroder British Opportunities Trust plc. Previously, she was a non-executive director and chair of the audit committee of SmartSpace Software plc (October 2013 until May 2021) and Rutherford Health plc (November 2019 until August 2020) as well as a director of Precious Cells International Limited (April 2016 - May 2017).

 

During her appointment as a director of SmartSpace Software plc (formerly known as Coms plc and RedstoneConnect plc), the Coms plc group had trading difficulties and Diana took on an interim role as chief finance officer. Following the departure of the finance director and chief executive officer of Coms plc, Diana became a director of the majority of Coms plc's subsidiaries on 1 March 2015. After the sale of the business and assets of most of the Coms plc's subsidiaries, which comprised its telecommunications division, at the end of May 2015 and the discharge of agreed trading liabilities, the following companies were put into creditors' voluntary liquidation: Coms Carrier Services Limited, Network Resource Limited, CloudXL Networks Limited, Coms Mobile Limited, System Online Limited, CloudXL Support Limited, Network Resource Group Limited, Smarter Mobile UK Limited, Coms.com Limited, Premium O Limited, and CloudXL Limited.

 

Diana resigned from her role as a director of Precious Cells International Limited and its subsidiary, Pharmacells Limited on 31 May 2017. The companies were placed into administration on 28 March 2018 and 13 April 2018 respectively.

 

There is no further information to be disclosed under UK Listing Rule 6.4.8(R).

 

Diana has also been appointed to the Company's Audit Committee and Management Engagement and Remuneration Committee and will become Chair of the Audit Committee on Christopher Casey's resignation at the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting (see below).

 

Maria Luisa Cicognani commented:

 

"My fellow directors and I are delighted to welcome Diana to the Board. We are very pleased to have appointed a director with extensive industry, financial and audit expertise. Diana will be a great addition to our team, and she will bring a wealth of experience in the sector and listed and private companies."

 

Resignation of Director

 

The Board of Mobius Investment Trust plc also announces that Christopher Casey will resign from his non-executive directorship of the Company and the role of Chairman of the Audit Committee with effect from the close of business of the Company's forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 15 May 2025.

 

Christopher has been an independent member of the Board since the Company's launch in 2018 and will be stepping down as part of MMIT's succession planning efforts. The Board thanks Christopher for his support during these years and his contribution to the Company.
