investment manager.
Tom Price, Chairman of Quorum Oil and Gas Technology Fund Limited, commented:
"The Board would like to thank all voting shareholders for their constructive
engagement in a very difficult process.
"It is abundantly clear from our consultations that shareholders wish the
Company to focus on achieving successful exits from the current portfolio
investments and we have urged SGW Capital Managers to continue to work with the
investee companies to refocus them on core activities and in parallel to
progress realisation plans. The Board would also like to reiterate that it is
open to approaches for assets from QOGT Inc. or other parties.
"We also recognise that a number of shareholders wish the composition of the
Board to be reviewed. As an initial step in this process Chris Hill has today
agreed to become Non-Executive Chairman; I intend to remain on the Board as a
Non-Executive Director. We will commence a selection process for additional
Directors without delay."
