Paris: 3 March 2014
Following the announcement on 4 February, eServGlobal (LSE: ESG & ASX: ESV), the provider of end-to-end mobile financial services to emerging markets, announces today the resignation as a Director of its Chairman, Richard Mathews.
Due to his increased executive duties and work load as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of RungePincockMinarco (ASX: RUL), a mining services company which is publicly traded on the Australian Securities Exchange, Richard has needed to accelerate his resignation.
As previously announced, the eServGlobal Board has already commenced a search (using an external recruitment firm) for a UK-based Chairman. . An announcement on this appointment will be made in due course. Until the new Chairman is appointed, existing Non-executive Director, Steve Baldwin has been appointed Acting Chairman.
The Board would like to thank Richard for his leadership of the business over the last four and a half years, initially as CEO of the Company and subsequently as Chairman.
Richard Mathews, outgoing Chairman, commented, "I would like to thank our customers, staff and shareholders for their support and guidance during my time with eServGlobal. It has been a great journey with a great business in a great market segment. I wish the management team, the Board and the business all the best for the future and I am confident that eServGlobal is well positioned for continued success in the years to come."
Paolo Montessori, CEO & Managing Director, commented, "Richard's guidance and leadership has been instrumental in eServGlobal becoming a market leading technology provider in a rapidy growing market. His achievements at eServGlobal will contribute to the Company's success for years to come. We wish him ongoing success in his new venture."
The Australian Corporations Act requires the Company to have two Australian resident directors at all times. In line with this, Tom Rowe, eServGlobal's Sydney-based Company Secretary, has today been appointed a Director of the Company.
