businesses and been involved in raising over $182m in new capital from institutional and retail investors. Based in Perth, he is a qualified Chartered Accountant and member of the AICD.

Geoff Greenberg has notified the Company of his intention to resign as CFO from Swift effective 7 May 2021. This timeframe allows a smooth and orderly transition. Geoff has decided to pursue a new business opportunity in the retail sector where he has enjoyed most of his professional career. He joined Swift at a critical time in the Company's transition and oversaw improvements in the capital structure and cost base of the business, including the recently announced divestment of the Health and Wellbeing division.

Darren Smorgon, Chair of Swift said, "We are pleased to announce today's appointments to position Swift for growth in the key mining and resources vertical focused in Perth.

Let me first congratulate Pippa Leary on joining the Board. Swift is a far more focused and competitive company now compared to when she joined only eighteen months ago.

We also welcome Brian as our new CFO. He is a proven executive with deep experience in driving organic and inorganic growth in ASX listed technology businesses to deliver value for shareholders. He is a senior appointment and enhances our capabilities and profile in Perth.

On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Geoff Greenberg. When Geoff joined Swift, we required an eastern seaboard-based CFO that could work with the senior executive team to deliver meaningful change and improvement in a short time frame. Geoff delivered successful results and we all wish him well in his new role.

I would also like to thank Ryan for his valuable contribution to the Swift Board. Swift will retain a majority of independent directors on the Board. Ryan will remain an alternate for his father Bob as a director and continue in his important role as Financial Manager. We very much appreciate the Sofoulis family's ongoing support for Swift as we execute our accelerated growth strategy."
