The Board also announces the retirement of Chris Banks and

Company's Annual General Meeting to be held in July 2012. Chris

Paul Taylor
Mr. Taylor is a qualified Certified Accountant who started his
career at Price Bailey Partners in 1986, and has subsequently
served in a number of senior finance roles.
Paul has spent most of his career at AVEVA Group plc and served
as Group Finance Director from March 2001 to January 2010. He is
currently Non Executive Director and Chairman of the Audit
Committee of Escher Group Holdings plc, Ubisense Group plc and
Anite plc.
Paul will serve on the Audit, Remuneration and Nomination
committees of Digital Barriers plc and will assume the Chairmanship
of the Audit Committee upon the retirement of Chris Banks in July
2012.
Dr. Tom Black, Executive Chairman, commented:
"I am delighted that Paul has agreed to join the Board of
Digital Barriers. Paul's experience at Aveva and his existing
Non-Executive roles qualify him well for the role. He will bring a
wealth of experience to the Board and I am sure he will become a
valued member of the senior team. I look forward to working with
Paul as we move the Company to the next phase of its
development.
I would also like to express my gratitude to both Chris and
Rupert for their contribution to the Board. Chris joined the Board
at the time of the Company's IPO in order to assist with setting up
our governance regime, a role in which he has added enormous value.
Rupert joined the Board in July 2010 to enhance our knowledge of
overseas markets, Asia and the Middle East in particular, and has
greatly enhanced our early development."
The company is currently undertaking a search for an additional
Non-Executive Director.
