Andrew Herbert, Chairman, commented:

 

"I would like to thank Ian for his contribution and commitment to the Board of Xaar as Chief Financial Officer since 2020. He has played a significant role in delivering a re-invigorated strategy and leaves Xaar with a healthy balance sheet ensuring that the business is well-positioned to capitalise upon the significant market opportunities that lay ahead of it. We wish him the very best for the future.

 

We are pleased to have someone of Paul's calibre as interim CFO and his experience will help us maximise the Group's significant opportunity."

 

Notes:

 

The Company confirms there is no further information to be disclosed under the requirements of Listing Rule 6.4.8R in relation to the appointment of Paul James.
