Change of Company Name

 

With the passage of Resolution 14, the Company's name is changed to Cirata plc.  The Company felt the time was right to be renamed as part of a broad and extensive rebranding program that best reflects the updated Company vision, values and future growth plans.  The new name is intended to provide a new and positive canvas where the Company can build positive brand equity going forward.

 

Cirata is a combination of "cirrus cloud" and "data" and the name enables the Company to continue to pursue market opportunities in the data integration space under a new name and brand identity. The Company intends to transition into the new brand identity and integrate the new name in Q4.  For more information on the new name and an early view into the new identity please visit cirata.io.


Stephen Kelly, CEO, commented:

 

"It's time to focus our collective attention on the future and do everything we can to help drive the growth plan forward.  Renaming and rebranding the Company is one step in that journey and we're excited to build Cirata into a category leader".
