Board Changes
Mr Chmiel has advised the Board of his decision to step down for personal and family reasons.
Mr Rann has advised that his decision to step down was influenced by his taking on additional
international responsibilities.
Their roles will not be replaced, as the Board's decided to reduce its size from five to three
Directors, which the Board considers appropriate for the Company's current operations.
The Board confirms that neither retirement is related to the performance of the Company, the
performance of either Director, or any disagreement with the Board or management. There are
no matters in connection with their retirement that need to be brought to the attention of
shareholders.

the role of Chair of the Board from the conclusion of the 2026 AGM.
Contribution to Spacetalk
Mr Chmiel and Mr Rann both joined the Board on 1 July 2022. During their tenure, Spacetalk has
undergone a significant transformation, moving from a hardware business to a software-led
business.
On behalf of the Board, Mr Grover said:
"On behalf of the Board, I thank Georg and Mike for their leadership and commitment over more
than four years. They have guided Spacetalk through a period of fundamental change, and the
Company is better positioned as a result. Georg has led the Board through the transition to a
software-led business with clarity and discipline, and Mike has brought deep experience in
government, stakeholder engagement and international relationships. We wish them both well."
