MONTREAL, June 14, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ - Data-driven
marketing and loyalty analytics company Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) (the
"Company") today announced the resignation of three
directors. Joanne Ferstman has resigned as a director of the
Company. In addition, as part of the Board of Directors' ongoing
process of renewal, the Board of Directors has also accepted the
resignations of Alan Rossy and
Beth Horowitz.
Over the past few years, the Company has been on a path to
simplify and focus the business, reduce operating costs and dispose
of certain non-core assets. Reflecting the changing profile of the
Company, the Board of Directors has been reviewing its size and
composition against the Company's current needs. The current Board
is now reduced to nine members.
Ferstman joined the Board in 2005, Rossy joined the Board in
2007, and Horowitz joined the Board in 2012.
"Each of Joanne, Alan and Beth have brought different aspects to
our Board that have made them valuable contributors over the
years," said Robert E. Brown,
Executive Chairman, Aimia. "They have been valued and trusted
colleagues, bringing expertise and wisdom. We will miss each of
them," Brown said. "The Board and the Company both thank Joanne,
Alan and Beth for their contributions over the years."
The Board is confident that its smaller size and composition
will provide effective oversight, strategic input and strong
support to management's execution of operating priorities.
