Update re Board Changes

Phorm (AIM: PHRM), a leading internet personalisation technology company, is pleased to confirm that, further to its announcement of 15 July 2015, Mr Timothy Todd Smith has formally been appointed to the Board as Chief Executive Officer with immediate effect.

 

As announced on 15 July 2015, Mr Lex Fenwick, assumed the role of interim Executive Chairman, pending Mr Smith's formal appointment. The Company is pleased to announce that Mr Fenwick has now agreed to act as Non-Executive Chairman with immediate effect.

 

As announced on 15 July 2015, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with each of Mr Ertugrul and Mr Croxson (the "Settlement Agreements"), whereby they are both entitled to receive, inter alia, a share based payment (the "Share Payment"). Pursuant to the Share Payments, the Company has now issued Mr Ertugrul and Mr Croxson with 10 million and 4 million new ordinary shares of nil par value in the capital of Phorm respectively (the "Settlement Shares").

 

Neither Mr Ertugrul nor Mr Croxson shall be entitled to dispose of more than 25 per cent. of the Settlement Shares in the two month period following their date of issue and no more than 25 per cent. of the Shares in each of the three months thereafter. Phorm has the right of first refusal to buy back such Settlement Shares if either Mr Ertugrul or Mr Croxson decide to sell.

 

Accordingly, application will be made to the London Stock Exchange plc for the Settlement Shares to be admitted to trading on AIM. It is expected that admission of the Settlement Shares will become effective and that dealings in the Settlement Shares will commence at 8.00 a.m. on 4 August 2015.

 

Following admission of the Settlement Shares, the total issued ordinary share capital of the Company will comprise 857,810,775 ordinary shares. The Settlement Shares will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing ordinary shares.
