Completion of Vennersys sale

 

Christie Group plc (CTG.L), the leading provider of Professional &
Financial Services and Stock & Inventory Systems & Services to the
hospitality, leisure, healthcare, medical, childcare & education and
retail sectors, is pleased to announce that on Friday 16(th) January 2026 it
completed the disposal of the business and assets of its visitor attraction
software business, Vennersys, to Digital Ticketing Systems Limited
("Digitickets").

 

Details of the consideration receivable are as set out in the announcement
which was issued on Monday 22(nd) December 2025.

 

Following the sale of the business, Paul Ian Harding has agreed to remain with
the Group and will continue to serve on the Christie Group plc Board in a
non-executive capacity until the forthcoming Annual General Meeting on 16th
June 2026. However, following the divestments of Orridge and Vennersys, Paul
has chosen not to stand for re-election and will step down from the Board and
all other remaining roles within Christie Group at that date.

 

Dan Prickett, Christie Group Chief Executive Officer commented:

 

"We are pleased to have smoothly concluded the sale of Vennersys and we wish
all of the customers and staff who have transferred as a result of the sale, a
successful future under new ownership. We are pleased to now be able to focus
our time and resources on developing our core brands.

I am also delighted that Paul Harding has agreed to remain with the Group and
will continue to work alongside me and our Board colleagues until the AGM in
June. I would like to place on record my personal thanks to Paul for his
professionalism and commitment in 25 years of working for Christie Group since
joining when Orridge was acquired in 2001. Paul will leave with our thanks and
very best wishes for the future for himself, his wife Angie and his family. We
shall continue to count him as a friend and supporter of the Group."
