Directorate Change
The Board of mirada plc, the AIM-quoted audiovisual interaction
specialist, today announces that it has accepted the resignation of
Richard Alden as Non-Executive
Chairman from the Board of Directors. Richard, who joined the board
in March 2010 and became
Non-Executive Chairman in December
2010, has recently been appointed as Chief Operating Officer
of Wananchi Group, an East African telecommunications operator, as
well as Vice Chairman of Euskaltel S.A., a Spanish cable operator,
and is stepping down with immediate effect from the Board as he
feels unable to dedicate sufficient time to carry out his duties as
a Director of mirada.

appointed Non-Executive Chairman of the Board to replace
Richard Alden. Javier has been a
member of the Board as a Non-Executive Director since December 2009 and is a partner of Baring Iberia
