Raphael Zier, Chief Executive Officer, appointed chairman

NETBOOSTER (FR0000079683 – ALNBT), the leading independent digital marketing agency in Europe, today announces a change in its governance.

At its latest meeting, the Board of Directors of NetBooster decided to merge the duties of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and to appoint Raphaël Zier as Chairman and CEO of the Group. This decision is in keeping with the transition phase implemented over the last few months.

Raphaël Zier, a Director of NetBooster since the beginning of 2010, became the principal shareholder of the Group in October 2010 before his appointment as Chief Executive Officer in April 2011.
New composition for the Board of Directors

During the same meeting, the Board voted to co-opt Nils Carlsson, Group Chief Operating Officer, as a Director. Nils is actively contributing to the on-going recovery, quarter after quarter, particularly through the implementation of new tools to monitor operations. His appointment remains subject to ratification at the next Annual General Meeting.

The Board of Directors of NetBooster is now made up of:

• Raphaël ZIER, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
• Nils CARLSSON, Group Chief Operating Officer
• Pascal CHEVALIER
• Benjamin FAES
• Olivier HALLEY
• TRUFFLE CAPITAL, represented by Bernard-Louis ROQUES

Further equity investment

Furthermore, during the last few days Raphaël Zier acquired a block of 50,000 shares, representing almost an additional 0.5% of the share capital, and thus consolidates his position as NetBooster’s principal shareholder with an equity stake of almost 25%.
