AGM Statement
At KBC's AGM to be held at 3.00 pm today Ian Godden, Chairman,
will make the following statement.
"KBC has made a strong start to 2013 in both its consulting and
technology operations.
Good progress has been made on the major four-year contract
awarded in December 2012 by a large South American national oil
company, with key consulting milestones being achieved. Several
multi-year technology contracts have been agreed with international
oil companies and we have also been successful in agreeing a
material award of a managed services contract with a major oil and
gas services company that embeds KBC's proprietary technology
across its suite of upstream production software applications.
These developments are underpinned by the Group's continued
focus on aligning its resources and the implementation of new
management and incentive structures, all of which are designed to
deliver profitable growth across the business.
The new contract awards, together with the strong order book at
the start of the year and the new operational and cost initiatives,
give us confidence in meeting management expectations for the
current year as well as in the Group's longer term prospects.
We have today separately announced the appointment of Paul
Taylor as a new independent Non-Executive Director of KBC and we
have pleasure in welcoming him to the Board. Following this
appointment we will be seeking to strengthen our Board further with
another independent non-executive director."
