Result of EGM and Supervisory Board Changes

 

SQS Software Quality Systems AG (AIM:SQS.L), the world's largest supplier of independent software testing and quality management services, is pleased to announce that all resolutions proposed at its Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM"), held earlier today, were duly passed.

 

As previously disclosed in the Company's EGM Notice, the resolutions at the EGM included a resolution to elect two new members to the Supervisory Board. As such, the Company is pleased to announce that David Bellin and Heinrich ("Heinz") Herman Bons will shortly join the Supervisory Board, which is being expanded to prepare for the Company's future growth.

 

These changes to the Supervisory Board will become effective once the local court posts them to the commercial register. This is expected to occur in approximately 2 weeks and a further announcement will be made in due course once these changes have become effective.
