Pathfinder comments
In their latest statement, the Company’s director Sir H C Bellingham attached the following comments on appointments and the Board’s outlook for the Company.
“In August 2018, Nick Trew stepped down from the Board and Simon Farrell and Scott Richardson-Brown joined the Board in the roles of Non-executive Co-Chairman and Executive Director, respectively. Scott Richardson-Brown was later appointed to the role of Chief Executive Officer.”
“Scott Richardson-Brown left the Company on 3 June 2019 to pursue other business interests, and the Board wishes him well with his future endeavours. John Taylor was appointed as the Company’s new Chief Executive Officer on the same date and I am happy to report there has been no let-up in the pace of operations and activity since then.”
“Discussions are continuing to progress in a positive way both with regards to a transaction in respect of the Licence and with prospective funders who are conducting their own asset-level due diligence. Should a transaction be concluded, the Board anticipates that the effect on the business would likely be transformational.”
