ROYAL TUNBRIDGE WELLS, UK, Sept. 29, 2011 /CNW/ - Synchronica plc ("Synchronica" or "the Company") (AIM: SYNC) (TSXV: SYN), the international provider of next-generation mobile messaging services, is providing an update on the recent changes in management announced in its September 23, 2011 press release. In the release, it was announced that Arthur Phillips, the Corporate Secretary and Controller of Synchronica, would assume the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer, in addition to his other positions with Synchronica.  Angus Dent, who previously was the Chief Financial Officer, has assumed the role as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

To facilitate the gradual transition of the role of Interim Chief Financial Officer to Mr. Phillips, the Board of Directors of Synchronica has implemented a transitional plan whereby, effective immediately, Mr. Dent will continue to serve as the Chief Financial Officer on a transitional basis.  Mr. Dent has been the Chief Financial Officer of Synchronica since April of 2006 and has extensive and invaluable knowledge of financial matters relating to Synchronica.  As the migration of such knowledge to his successor requires time, Mr. Dent will continue to be involved in the overall financial management and reporting of Synchronica as Chief Financial Officer during this transition period.  It is anticipated that Mr. Phillips will assume full responsibilities as Interim Chief Financial Officer in the near term, and in particular in the course of the completion and filing of Synchronica's financial statements for the interim period ended September 30, 2011, such that those reports will be concluded under his ultimate responsibility.

"As Synchronica is in the process of integrating its newly acquired companies and preparing to meet the needs of a larger global customer base, the Board felt that an orderly transition to the new executive team was in the interests of shareholders," said David Mason, Executive Chairman. "We are confident that Angus and Arthur, along with the rest of management, will continue the success Synchronica has achieved in growing market share and in becoming a technology leader."
