Wellnex Life Limited (ASX/AIM:WNX) ("Wellnex Life" or the "Company") announces changes to the board and to management post the successful dual listing on the AIM Market of the London Stock Exchange ("AIM").
Having guided the Company through a transformational period and the successful AIM IPO, Non-Executive Chairman, Mr George Tambassis, has tendered his resignation to the board due to recent increased external work commitments that will not allow him to dedicate the required time to Wellnex Life as a public company.
Mr Tambassis has played a pivotal role for the Company and leaves Wellnex in a much stronger position, with the extinguishment of circa A$13 million in debt following the AIM IPO.
Whilst the Company commences its search for a new Chairman, Mr Andrew Vidler, current independent Non-Executive Director, has agreed on an interim basis to assume the non-executive Chairman role, effective immediately. The interim appointment of Mr Vidler will allow for a seamless transition of the Chair role. Mr Tambassis will remain available to the Company should his advice or guidance be required.
The board would like to thank Mr Tambassis for his valuable contribution and Mr Andrew Vidler for agreeing to take up the role as interim Non-Executive Chairman.
With the dual listing of Wellnex Life on the AIM market and the continued growth of the business domestically and internationally across brands and IP licensing, the board is pleased to announce that Mr Zack Bozinovski, joint Managing Director, has been appointed as joint CEO. This appointment will ensure a dedicated focus to continuing business growth and increasing shareholder value.
Andrew Vidler, interim Non-Executive Chairman, said "I am pleased to be able to support Wellnex Life through this Board transition period. With the balance sheet now on a sound footing, management's focus on the marketplace performance is the priority. My own experience in consumer health products and pharmacy retailing is comprehensive and I look forward to working with the Wellnex management team as Interim Chairman. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank George Tambassis for his significant efforts over the last year. He leaves the Company in a far stronger position than when he joined"
George Tambassis said "Having chaired the group through a transformational period, I no longer have the time I would like to devote to the Company's future growth. I wish the Company well and will remain available should my advice be required".
There are no changes to Mr Andrew Vidler or Mr Zack Bozinovski's terms of employment contract.
