International Datacasting... Moving On Up... (Business + SatBroadcasting™)


[SatNews] International Datacasting Corporation (TSX:IDC) ("IDC" or the "Corporation") has announced that James Hall, an independent director....

.....of the Corporation, has been appointed as IDC's new Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. The appointment follows Adam Adamou's stepping down from the position, effective February 10, 2012. Mr. Adamou will continue to serve IDC as a director. With the appointment of Mr. Hall as IDC's Chairman, and because Mr. Hall is independent, it is no longer necessary for IDC to have a lead director. As such, Frank Ruffolo (IDC's lead director since September 6, 2011) has stepped down from such position, effective immediately. Mr. Ruffolo will continue to serve IDC as a director.

In connection with the above-noted changes, IDC has formed a committee consisting of Adam Adamou (director), Fred Godard (President and Chief Executive Officer and a director), Graham McBride (director) and Frank Ruffolo (director) to identify candidates to join the Board as part of the ongoing process to further build-out its collective skill-set. Any such candidates recommended by the committee would be reviewed by the full Board. International Datacasting company information here.
