“I am delighted to welcome Shannon to our Board of Directors,” said Kaleeg Hainsworth, Co-founder, President and CEO. “Shannon brings a wealth of experience as a public company CFO, corporate controller, and strategic capital markets advisor.”

“I’m thrilled to be part of Legible’s unique value proposition as a new and dynamic eBook reading and publishing platform, and to participate and contribute to both Legible’s purpose-filled vision and growth strategy,” said Ms. Kaustinen. “I look forward to working with Legible’s Board of Directors and senior management at this exciting and foundational stage in the company’s growth.”

In fulfilling Legible's plans to restructure its board after its successful public listing in December 2021, and in having completed a strategic board review process in January 2022, Legible also announced that Mr. Mark Holden, a founding director of Legible is stepping down from his role on the board and taking the position of chair of Legible’s Advisory Committee. Ms. Helina Patience, who served on the Legible Board while a private company, is also stepping down and will continue in her capacity as Legible’s Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Gene Kindrachuk and Mr. Ryan Hoult, who were Directors of Twenty20 Investments prior to the reverse takeover, are also stepping down from Legible’s Board.

“On behalf of the Company I would like to thank Mark and Helina for their continued and unwavering dedication to Legible while on the Board, mainly during Legible’s time as a private company,” said Hainsworth. “I’d also like to thank Gene and Ryan for temporarily serving on our Board after the completion of the reverse takeover of Twenty20 Investments by Legible Media. We wish Ryan and Gene every success in their endeavors”.

Following these changes Legible’s Board of Directors is now comprised of Mr. Kaleeg Hainsworth, President, CEO and Founder, Mr. David Van Seters, and Ms. Shannon Kaustinen who will serve as the Chair of Legible’s Audit Committee.

Legible has also commenced a strategic review of its requirements for the recruitment and appointment of additional directors to the Board that will continue to promote high standards of organizational effectiveness and corporate governance while furthering the strategic vision of driving Legible to profitability.

Certain statements in this press release are forward-looking statements and are prospective in nature. Forward-looking ‎statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, many ‎of which, by their nature, are inherently uncertain and outside of the Company’s control and are therefore subject to risks ‎and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the ‎forward-looking statements.

Those assumptions and factors are based on information currently available to the Company. Although management of the ‎Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained ‎in forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as ‎anticipated, estimated or intended. Among the key factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those ‎projected in the forward-looking information and statements are the following: changes in general economic, business and political conditions, ‎including changes in the financial markets; changes in applicable laws; ‎and the diversion of management time. Should one or more of these risks, uncertainties or ‎other factors materialize, or should assumptions underlying the forward-looking information or statements prove incorrect, ‎actual results may vary materially from those described herein as intended, planned, anticipated, believed, estimated or ‎expected. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events ‎could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements.
