Planet Payment, Inc. Announces Director Retirement

Planet Payment, Inc.(NASDAQ:PLPM) (LSE:AIM:PPT), a leading provider of international payment and transaction processing and multi-currency processing services, announces that Lady Barbara Judge has informed the Company that she will not be standing for re-election as a Director, at the Annual Meeting to be held today and her term as a director will come to an end.

Lady Judge indicated that she is retiring from the Board for personal reasons. However, the Company has retained her services as a consultant for the next year, in order to assist with business development activities.

As a result of Lady's Judge's decision not to seek re-election the resolution to re-appoint her as a director has been withdrawn from the business of the Annual Meeting to be held later today. This will not affect the other matters to be discussed and voted on at the meeting nor the validity of all proxies received.

The Company is immediately commencing a search for another independent director, in order to comply with NASDAQ market rules, which require a majority of independent directors. The Company has six months from today in order to appoint an appropriate person to the Board. As the Company is not replacing Lady Judge at this time, the size of the Board is being reduced to 6 directors.

Commenting on the retirement, Cameron McColl, Director of Planet Payment, Chairman of Audit and Nomination and Governance Committees, said:

"I have worked with Barbara for more than eight years and greatly appreciate her service as an independent director to the Company as well as the valuable insights she shared during that time. We want to thank Barbara for her efforts and support for the Company, during a time of great development and change and look forward to continuing to work with her in the coming months."
