Anders Eriksson Resigns as CEO of Active 24, Jaap Zuiderveld Appointed as Successor

Oslo, Norway (ots/PRNewswire)

Anders Eriksson has, as of today,
resigned from his position as CEO of Active 24 due to differences
with the board on execution of the company's strategy. He will remain
available to the board for assistance during a transition period.
Anders Eriksson has held the position as CEO since April 2004 and
during that period he has among other efforts successfully introduced
Active 24 on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Jaap Zuiderveld has been
appointed new CEO. He previously held the position as Active 24
General Manager Western Europe.
"We appreciate the strong and positive impact Anders Eriksson has
made to Active 24 during his time as CEO. The formation of a new
strategic platform and vision for the company, integration under a
single brand - Active 24, the addition of a strong Czech and thereby
Eastern European presence, and the listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange
are very important milestones in the company's evolution and help
build a strong foundation for the future. We wish continued success
for Anders in his next position", said Anthony Bay, Chairman of
Active24.
"I appreciate the opportunity to have been part of the development
of Active 24 and to have led the company through achievement of some
very important milestones. My main responsibility as CEO has been to
create shareholder value and I am glad to see the vast interest in
our stock, and that the share price has shown a positive trend after
the listing in November. I am proud of the accomplishments of the
company's management and employees, and am convinced that Active 24
has an exciting future ahead of it. I remain a committed shareholder
and will now follow the company from that perspective", said Anders
Eriksson.
Active 24 has appointed Jaap Zuiderveld, age 40, as its new CEO.
Mr. Zuiderveld has most recently been GM of Active 24's Western
Europe Business Unit and part of the executive team of the company.
Zuiderveld joined the company in the Netherlands in 2000 and is the
longest serving member of the management team. Zuiderveld has more
than 18 years of experience in the IT industry with mostly commercial
focused positions.
