Cardtronics, Inc. (Nasdaq:CATM) today announced a number of changes
to its Board of Directors (the "Board"), including the resignation
of Fred R. Lummis as chairman of the Board, effective November 10,
2010. Mr. Lummis had served as chairman since June 2001, when The
CapStreet companies, for whom he works, purchased a controlling
interest in Cardtronics. During his nine years of stewardship,
Cardtronics grew from a few hundred ATMs to more than 33,000 ATMs
in three countries.
"I am honored to have played a role in the tremendous growth and
success Cardtronics has achieved since 2001," stated Mr. Lummis.
"The company has a strong Board and a proven management team, and I
believe that this is an appropriate time for me to hand over the
reigns to a new chairman. I am confident Cardtronics has the
elements in place for continued long-term success." The resignation
of Mr. Lummis was not the result of any disagreement with the
Company or its management.
In connection with Mr. Lummis' resignation, the Board has
appointed Dennis F. Lynch as the Board's new chairman. In
addition to his role as chairman, Mr. Lynch, who has served as a
member of the Company's Board since January 2008, will continue to
serve as a member of the Board's Audit Committee and Chairman of
the Company's Compensation Committee.
"On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Fred for
his many years of service to Cardtronics," said Steven Rathgaber,
Cardtronics' Chief Executive Officer. "Without Fred's
leadership and guidance over the past nine years, Cardtronics would
not have grown into the successful company that it is today. I
would also like to congratulate Dennis on his new position as
chairman, and I look forward to working with him in this new
role."
The Company also announced the appointment of Mark Rossi as a
new independent director to serve on the Company's Board, effective
December 1, 2010. In addition to his election to the Board,
Mr. Rossi has been appointed to serve as a member of the Board's
Compensation Committee.
"I am very pleased to welcome Mark as a member of our Board,"
said Mr. Lynch, Cardtronics' chairman of the Board. "Mark's many
years of work in the investment world add to the collective depth
of our Board. We look forward to the insight that he will
bring."
Mr. Rossi currently serves as Senior Managing Director of
Cornerstone Equity Investors LLC, an active middle market private
equity fund that he founded in 1996. From 1984 to 1996, Mr.
Rossi held various positions with Prudential Equity Partners, the
private equity subsidiary of Prudential Insurance, including
President from 1994 to 1996 and Senior Vice President from 1984 to
