[BioMed]

Oslo (TDN Direkt): Idex Biometrics gjør flere endringer i ledelsen. Blant annet vil finansdirektør Henrik Knudtzon gå av, ifølge en melding fra selskapet fredag.

Henrik Knudtzon vil gå av som finansdirektør fra første juni 2019, og vil gå inn i en rådgivende rolle. Idex er nå i prosessen for å ansette en ny finansdirektør med base i USA.

Videre vil teknologidirektør Fred Benkley gå inn i en ny rolle som innovasjonsdirektør fra 1.mars 2019.

Anthony Eaton vil bli ny teknologidirektør fra 1.mars 2019.

Ellers gjentar Idex Biometrics at de vurderer børsnotering på London Stock Exchange eller Nasdaq.

Vet ikke hvor bra Henrik Knudzton har gjort det, men kanskje bra med nytt kjøtt også? «med base i USA» = større nettverk

Woww

[laplagam]

Spennende! Kan det endelig begynne å skje ting her tro. Hadde vært moro.

[Marionette123]

Noen tanker om dagens børsmelding?
Jeg synes det virker litt merkelig å melde: “Hei folkens, snart kommer det en stor ordre”
Hvorfor ikke vente til ordren kommer å melde den, som normalt? Er det jeg som misforstår?
Hadde forstått det dersom IDEX skulle bli oppkjøpt og ville drive kursen opp før kjøp, men ellers ser jeg ikke hvorfor “forhåndsmelde” en ordre.

"Valgkomiteen i IDEX Biometrics har kommet med en ny innstilling til styret i forbindelse med innkallingen til ordinær generalforsamling.
Der fremkommer det at styremedlem Andrew James MacLeod foreslås kastet fra styret. MacLeod ble valgt for en periode på to år i forbindelse med generalforsamlingen i fjor.
«Valgkomiteen understreker at sammensetningen av styrets medlemmer bør være gjenstand for evaluering hvert år, uavhengig av valgperioden,» heter det i innstillingen.
Videre skriver man i forslaget til vedtak at MacLeod «løses fra styrevervet».
Samtidig foreslår valgkomiteen at Steven A. Skaggs velges inn som nytt styremedlem i selskapet. De øvrige medlemmene av styret foreslås gjenvalgt for to år. Dette er den samme perioden som Skaggs foreslås valgt for. "

Noen tanker rundt dette? Ingen av disse navnene sier meg noe.

Steve Skaggs har vært privat investor siden april 2016. Fra mai 2013 til april 2016 var han Senior Vice
President og Chief Financial Officer i Atmel Corporation, en ledende leverandør av mikrokontrollere, fram
til selskapet be overtatt av Microchip Technology Incorporated. Skaggs begynte Atmel i september 2010
og tjenestegjorde som Senior Vice President, Corporate Strategy and Development fram til han tiltrådte
som Chief Financial Officer. Skaggs har mer enn 25 års erfaring fra halvlederindustrien, og har innehatt
stillingene President, Chief Executive Officer og Chief Financial Officer i Lattice Semiconductor, som leverer
programmerbare logiske brikker og tilhørende programvare. Han var tidligere også styremedlem i Lattice.
Før perioden i Lattice var Skaggs ansatt i Bain & Company, et globart management consulting firma, der
han spesialiserte seg innen produktstrategi for høyteknologiske bedrifter, fusjoner og oppkjøp og
restrukturering av selskaper. Skaggs innehar en MBA-grad fra Harvard Business School og en B.S.-grad i

[laplagam]

Veldig dramatisk En avis som skriver det på den måten? Ser ihvertfall at i følge meldingen så foreslås det å løse han fra styret. Hans styre periode varer uansett bare ut 2019 så er vel ikke store forskjellen.

Håper IDEX kan begynne å få litt vinger nå som det ser ut til å nærme seg litt nye avtaler.

Valgkomiteen understreker at sammensetningen av styrets medlemmer bør være gjenstand for
evaluering hvert år, uavhengig av valgperioden. Komiteen foreslår å løse Andrew James MacLeod fra
styrevervet og at han erstattes av Steven A. (Steve) Skaggs som nytt styremedlem.

Noen som har noen formening om Idex i disse dager? Synes det ser veldig spennende ut selv.

Kursen var i fint driv i fjor sommer/høst hvor den gikk fra 2.50 til 7.50 på høyt volum. Deretter fulgte en stilleperiode hvor kursen gikk ned til ca 3 kroner.

Deretter ble det satt en emisjon på overkurs, 4.00 kroner i slutten av januar.

Etter dette har kursen vaket i området 3.40 - 4.00 og kan i dag handles til ca 3.50.

Det har kommet et par spennende børsmeldinger den siste tiden som ikke har hatt spesiell innvirkning på kursen enda.

• Idex varslet 10. April om en nært forestående kontrakt med en stor IT-partner.
• Idex meldte i dag om godkjennelse av viktige patenter.

Usikker på om det er lurt å gå inn i dag, eller håpe på bedre inngang etter Q1 på torsdag (samt se an hvordan det går med USA og Kina).

Gikk inn med en liten post i dag, men vurderer å evt øke litt. 3.50 virker som en grei inngang, men litt usikkerheter som sagt rundt samtalene mellom USA og Kina, og Q1 på torsdag.

[H.L]

Forstår jo at IDEX er i en vekstfase, men synes at de har veldig mye minus på bunnlinjen og lite med inntekter… Dette kombinert med at sjefene får feite lønninger… Er vel en grunn til at børsmeldingene som har kommet ut nå ikke har vært kursdrivende, tenker i første omgang at de må vise til revenue-guiding / faktiske store bestillingsordre som kan forsvare en inntjening og en mcap på 2 mrd. Blir spennende å se hva de får til de to neste årene, men biometric er vel slik som i biotec, mange emisjoner etterhvert.

Har selv en dose med IDEX aksjer, men har på en måte lagt de litt i skuffen og ser hvordan det går
