Board Changes
Due to resolution 7 not receiving sufficient votes to pass, Camilla Macun has deemed to have retired from the Board as per Article 24 of the Company's articles of association. The Board will take the necessary actions to give effect to this result and will consider broader board composition requirements, providing updates to the market as and when appropriate.
The Board wishes to give thanks to Camilla for her service to the Company, having served as an independent non-executive Director since the Company's IPO in 2021.
Sangita Shah, Big Technologies Interim Chair, said: "On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Camilla for her contribution and commitment to Big Technologies plc. Camilla has discharged her fiduciary duties with professionalism and integrity, in what have been exceptionally challenging circumstances for the Board and the Group. We warmly wish her all the best in her future endeavours and are grateful for her contribution to the Company over the last five years."
The Board stands united in its commitment to acting in shareholders' best interests and will provide further updates as appropriate.
