Retirement of Chief Financial Officer ("CFO")
London, 5th April 2006 - Synchronica, an international developer and provider of
mobile device management and synchronisation solutions, announces the retirement
from today of Allan Jonnes as Chief Financial Officer and Executive Director. A
further announcement will be made in due course regarding Mr. Jonnes' already
identified replacement, who has agreed to join the Company as soon as he is free
of existing contractual commitments, expected to be in no more than two weeks'
time. This planned succession is directly in line with Synchronica's strategy of
strengthening the Board with international software and mobile industry
specialists who can help the Company achieve its worldwide sales and
distribution goals.
The new CFO, who comes from the software industry, was instrumental in listing
his previous employer's business on AIM and in successfully completing
subsequent fund raisings, as well as establishing the company's wholly owned
development and support base in India and building the business, organically and
by acquisition, from £1m to £6m turnover.
Carsten Brinkschulte, Synchronica CEO commented: "I would like to take this
opportunity on behalf of the Board to thank Allan Jonnes for all his support
especially through my appointment as CEO and the recent company restructure. He
leaves behind sound financial systems which will serve us well in the future."
"I look forward to formally welcoming our new CFO shortly. His appointment forms
a key part of our commitment to cultivate a comprehensive team, both at Board
and operational level. This will enable Synchronica to take full advantage of
the growing mobile technology market in which we operate and to enhance what the
Board believes is a unique position and compelling business model."
Synchronica has previously announced that Preliminary Results for the year to 31
December 2005 will be released on 25 April and the CEO and newly appointed CFO
will attend shareholder meetings thereafter.
