Aimia Announces Director Resignations and Reduction in Size of Board
MONTREAL, June 14, 2017 /CNW Telbec/ – Data-driven marketing and loyalty analytics company Aimia Inc. (TSX: AIM) (the “Company”) today announced the resignation of three directors. Joanne Ferstman has resigned as a director of the Company. In addition, as part of the Board of Directors’ ongoing process of renewal, the Board of Directors has also accepted the resignations of Alan Rossy and Beth Horowitz.
Over the past few years, the Company has been on a path to simplify and focus the business, reduce operating costs and dispose of certain non-core assets. Reflecting the changing profile of the Company, the Board of Directors has been reviewing its size and composition against the Company’s current needs. The current Board is now reduced to nine members.
Ferstman joined the Board in 2005, Rossy joined the Board in 2007, and Horowitz joined the Board in 2012.
“Each of Joanne, Alan and Beth have brought different aspects to our Board that have made them valuable contributors over the years,” said Robert E. Brown, Executive Chairman, Aimia. “They have been valued and trusted colleagues, bringing expertise and wisdom. We will miss each of them,” Brown said. “The Board and the Company both thank Joanne, Alan and Beth for their contributions over the years.”
The Board is confident that its smaller size and composition will provide effective oversight, strategic input and strong support to management’s execution of operating priorities.
