Directorate Change
 
The board of directors of Northern Bear announces that, at its Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held earlier today, all resolutions, other than Resolutions 7 and 8 in respect of share issuance authorities and pre-emption rights, were duly passed. 
Immediately prior to the AGM, Steve Roberts, Executive Chairman of Northern Bear, resigned from the board of directors of the Company. Accordingly, Resolution 2 in respect of Mr Roberts re-election to the board of directors was not proposed at the AGM. Mr Roberts will assume the position of Chairman Emeritus and continue to fulfil his existing day-to-day operational role as an employee of the Company.
Jeff Baryshnik, currently a Non-Executive Director, has been appointed as Non-Executive Chairman of the Company with immediate effect.
It is expected that two further Non-executive director appointments will be made to the Board in the near term, at which time it is expected that John Holroyd will step down from the Board.
Further announcements will be made in due course.
 
Jeff Baryshnik, Chairman of Northern Bear, commented:
"The Board would like to thank Steve for his many years of dedicated service as a director of the Company.
"I look forward to increased engagement with all of the Company's stakeholders in due course."
