HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtus Investment Partners, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRTS), which operates a multi-manager asset management business, announced there will be a change in one of the two board positions currently held by representatives of BMO Financial Group (NYSE, TSX: BMO). (Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20090105/NEM020LOGO ) As a result of changes in his responsibilities, Barry M. Cooper will relinquish his role as one of BMO Financial's director nominees on the Virtus board as soon as a replacement nominee has been considered and approved by the Virtus board. A replacement nominee has been submitted by BMO Financial to the Governance Committee and the Virtus board for consideration at the January 28 committee and board meetings. Cooper, chairman of Jones Heward Investment Counsel, the Canadian institutional investment management division of BMO Financial Group, will assume new responsibilities on the boards of certain BMO Financial affiliates that have direct dealings with Virtus. "We appreciate the guidance Barry has provided during this past year as we began operating as an independent, publicly traded asset management company," said George R. Aylward, Virtus' president and chief executive officer. "Barry has a keen understanding of the asset management business, and his experience has provided a valuable perspective for the Virtus board and management team." Cooper was appointed to the Virtus board in January, 2009 under terms of the minority investment in Virtus by Harris Bankcorp Inc., a U.S. subsidiary of BMO Financial. Harris has $45 million in convertible preferred stock, representing a 23 percent equity position in Virtus, and has the right to designate two members of Virtus' board.
