CEO Resignation
Lier, 4thMay 2018: After 8 years in the position as Chief Executive Officer of
Kid, Kjersti Hobøl has decided to move on and pursue opportunities outside the
company as the new CEO of Nille. The change is not initiated by the board. We
have a mutual understanding that Mrs Hobøl will continue to conduct her current
responsibilities during the transition period until a new management is in place
and ensure an efficient onboarding process of a new CEO. The board will
immediately initiate a recruiting process for a new CEO. Mrs Hobøl holds 64 516
shares in KID ASA as of 4thMay 2018.
"It has been a privilege to work with such a strong and dedicated team in Kid
over the past 8 years. Together with the management-team and the board we have
successfully conducted a turn-around of the company from a financial distressed
situation, to change of ownership and listing on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Over
the last years we have delivered steady and profitable growth and has been one
of the most successful retailers. I am proud of the cultural identity we have
developed, and I am committed to, in due course to ensure a successful
introduction of a new management", says Kjersti Hobøl, CEO.
"On behalf of the board, I would like to thank Kjersti for many years of strong
leadership in the KID group. Her management has ensured consecutive and
profitable growth over the last 6 years. The company has an experienced
management team and is well positioned for pursuing further growth
opportunities. The board will continue to cooperate closely with Kjersti and the
management team over the next months to ensure execution of the current strategy
- also during the transition period", says Mr. Henrik Schüssler, Chairman of the
board.
