Directorate change
XLMedia (AIM: XLM), a leading global digital performance
publisher, today announces that Christopher Bell, Non-Executive
Chair, has informed the Company of his intention to step down from
the Board and as a director of the Company.
Christopher has spent nearly eight years as Chair of XLMedia,
supporting the Company through its IPO in 2014, and helping the
Group deliver a number of successful strategic acquisitions. More
recently, Chris has provided key support throughout the
restructuring of the business.
Chris has decided to step down from his role to focus on his
recent appointment as Non-Executive Chairman of Nueva Codere, an
international gaming operator, following shareholder approval at
its EGM on 2 February 2021.
Christopher will assist in the orderly transfer to a new Chair
and leave his role as Chair in due course.
Christopher Bell, Non-Executive Chair, commented:
"It has been a privilege to chair XLMedia for almost eight
years. 2022 marks the beginning of a leaner Group structure set to
benefit from significant progress made in rebalancing the Group to
have a greater focus on regulated high-growth markets like US
Sports. It feels like the right time to step aside and let someone
new support the business through its next phase of growth. I wish
everyone in the Company and its shareholders every success for the
future."
Julie Markey, Non-Executive Director, commented:
"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Chris for his
significant contribution, dedication and commitment to XLMedia in
his role as Chair and we wish him well in all of his future
endeavours."
Stuart Simms, CEO of XLMedia, commented:
"We are very grateful to Chris for his exceptional service to
XLMedia. I would like to personally thank him for his practical
support and wise counsel. Chris has been very supportive as we have
sought to restructure to become more agile and align the business
with new growth markets - an initiative we will complete during the
first half of this year - as well as integrating three hugely
successful US acquisitions, which we believe will be pivotal to our
long-term success."
