Directorate Change and Cost Reduction Programme

 

Technology Minerals Plc (LSE: TM1), the UK's pioneering firm in establishing a circular economy for battery metals, today announces that it is carrying out a cost reduction programme to enhance efficiencies throughout the business and focus on the Company's key assets, including its 48.35% held associate, Recyclus Group Ltd ("Recyclus").

 

The Company has undertaken a review of operations and is implementing cost reduction measures across the business including a redundancy programme to reduce its total workforce, a reduction in head office costs, and an ongoing review of all service providers.

 

As part of the cost reduction programme, Philip Beard has agreed to step down as an Independent Non-Executive Director and as Chairman of the Remuneration Committee with immediate effect.

 

In view of the reduction in the number of Independent Non-Executive Directors, the future composition of the Board and its committees will be reviewed and the appointment of a new Chair of the Remuneration Committee will be announced in due course.

 

Robin Brundle, Chairman of Technology Minerals, said: "These cost reduction measures have been identified as part of the Board's efforts to increase efficiencies and drive productivity throughout every level of the business. On behalf of the Board, I'd like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Phil for his contribution to the Company. We are grateful for all the strategic guidance Phil has provided to Technology Minerals and wish him the best in his future endeavours."
