Bob will succeed Mr. André Schulze Isfort, who had a
distinguished nine-year tenure as CAO of the company highlighted by
several key milestones, including leading the accounting function
through Orion’s transition from private to public ownership, the
conversion of the company's financial statements from IFRS to U.S.
GAAP and from Euros to U.S. Dollars, and transitioning from a
foreign filer to a domestic filer under SEC rules. Mr. Schulze
Isfort will transition his duties to Mr. Hrivnak over the next four
months.
