OFFICE: DIL: Diligent - Change of US Registered Office

Diligent Board Member Services, Inc. (Diligent)
Change of US Registered Office
Diligent Board Member Services, Inc advises that in accordance with Rule
10.8.1(e) of the NZSX Listing Rules with effect from November 18, 2013 (EST),
its US Registered Office will be changed to:
1385 Broadway,
19th Floor,
New York,
NY 10018,
United States of America
The new office at 1385 Broadway is located between 37th and 38th Streets in
New York City. The company signed a 10-year lease for a full floor,
measuring approximately 22,000 square feet in the 23-story office building,
to meet the needs of its rapidly expanding employee headcount and continue to
deliver award-winning client service.
Diligent increased its employee base in New York by 36 percent over the last
year, growing to about 90 employees in the third quarter of 2013 up from 66
employees a year earlier. At its previous office location, Diligent started
with one floor and expanded to three isolated floors totaling 13,500 square
feet of space over a seven-year period.
"Our new, larger office space will facilitate greater collaboration amongst
our employees, and the better work environment will further boost
satisfaction and aid our recruitment efforts," said Alex Sodi, Diligent's
president and CEO. "We wanted to move to a location that caused minimal
disruption to our employees' commutes, and was large enough to accommodate
our business needs."
Diligent's expanding service and support team has scaled to match its global
client growth rate over the past year. Instead of one account manager for
each customer, Diligent assigns each client a complete service team for the
duration of the relationship. In June 2013, Diligent was awarded a Gold
Stevie Award in the "Customer Service Team of the Year" category and a Bronze
Stevie Award in the "Customer Service Department of the Year," recognizing
the company's continued dedication to exemplary client service.
