Applied Graphene Materials announced that it intends to appoint Dr. Hugh Adrian Potts (Adrian) to the Board as the Group's new Chief Executive Officer, following the announcement earlier in the year of the retirement of current CEO Jon Mabbitt. Adrian has been Vice President for Business Development at AGM since January 2015. In this role he was responsible for leading the company's business development strategy in the U.S. Adrian previously worked at Cytec Process Materials in roles including Global Business Development Director, President of Cytec Process Materials, CA Inc. and President of Umeco Structural Materials Inc. In addition, the Board announced that Gareth Jones, Chief Financial Officer, has given notice of his resignation.

Gareth will remain with the Company beyond the announcement of AGM's annual results to ensure a smooth handover to his successor.
