Diligent Announces Pending Change to Board
Diligent Board Member Services, Inc. ("Diligent" or the "Company") (NZX: DIL)
today announced that Mark Weldon intends to resign from the Board of Diligent
as a consequence of accepting the position of Chief Executive of Mediaworks
New Zealand. Given the nature of his new role as Chief Executive, combined
with the fact Diligent is headquartered in New York, it will not be feasible
for Mark to remain a Director of Diligent.
Mark has agreed to remain on Diligent's Board until such time that the
Company finds a replacement so that the Company can continue to meet its
requirement to have two resident New Zealand directors under the NZX Listing
Rules. Diligent is appreciative of Mark's flexibility to work through the
timing of his resignation with the Diligent Board.
Mr. David Liptak, Chairman of the Board, said: "We would like to thank Mark
for his contribution to the Diligent Board and continued support whilst we go
through the process of appointing another New Zealand director. We wish him
all the very best in his new role at Mediaworks New Zealand."
Mr. Weldon commented: "Diligent is an outstanding technology company that is
regaining momentum, and has a bright future. I have valued my time with the
company, and wish it all the best for future success."
