Gabriel Napora, Chairman of the Board said: “We were committed to pursuing the best possible governance practices by ensuring a majority of Board members were independent of management. We have now accomplished this objective with two of our three Board members being fully independent. We believe we have added two very strong recognized Canadian business leaders as independent Board members with the addition of Jim and John.”
Mr. Napora continued, “Jim Skippen was recently appointed to our Advisory Board and after working with him for a short time we realized he would be an ideal candidate to join our Board. Jim’s accomplishments are many and well known in the Canadian business arena.”
Mr. Skippen led Quarterhill Inc. (formerly WiLAN) for twelve years and changed it from a struggling microcap to its current form. He has significant public board and governance
experience and is currently Quarterhill Inc’s Board Chairman. He is frequently recognized as one of the world’s leading intellectual property strategists. Mr. Skippen
has been a lawyer for over thirty years and is a former Partner of one of Canada’s largest law firms, where his practice focused on technology transactions. In 2012, he won Cantech’s award as Canada’s Top Technology Stock Executive. Mr. Skippen will serve as the lead independent director and resigned from the Advisory Board upon his appointment to the Board.
John Gillberry is the Founder and President of Bayfield Capital Group, a specialized corporate finance advisory firm providing expertise in areas of mergers, acquisitions, asset
based lending solutions, capital acquisition and other growth strategies which may take advantage of non-traditional or equity financing. He has held C-level roles with companies
such as WireIE, eSentire, QHR Technologies Inc. and currently as the CEO of Coreworx Inc., as well as serving on the Board of Directors for companies including BTE Technologies
Inc., Quarterhill Inc., GuestLogix and Open Jaw Technologies. Mr. Gillberry holds a Masters Degree in Business Administration from the Ivey School of Business, University of Western
Ontario and will lead Imagination Park’s Audit Committee. John has extensive experience with public company and private company boards, leading software and other technology companies including several successful turnarounds.
Gabriel Napora added: “I want to thank Yas Taalat and Ben Lu for their many contributions to the Board and wish to confirm that Yas will remain in his key executive
role of Chief Creative Officer and Ben will remain as Chief Content Officer.” The Company expects to increase its board size to five and will work to recruit two
additional excellent independent Board members over the coming months. The Company wishes to clarify the details on the shares for services agreements
