Intec Telecom Systems PLC 07 December 2005 Intec Telecom Systems PLC Resignation of non-executive Directors Thomas Ivarson and Mike Frayne 07 December 2005: Intec Telecom Systems plc announces that it has agreed to requests from Thomas Ivarson and Mike Frayne to stand down as non-executive directors of the company, with effect from today, the date of Intec's 2005 full year results. Mr. Ivarson has asked to stand down to resolve a potential conflict of interests between his main employer and Intec, and Mr. Frayne to pursue other business interests. Mr. Ivarson and Intec were concerned that, going forward, there might be a conflict of interest between LogicaCMG, where he holds the position of Group Sales & Marketing Director, and Intec, due to possible competition in the areas of real time rating and balance management. The Board notes that there remain substantial opportunities for cooperation in the core business around Intec's broader product portfolio and LogicaCMG's consultancy business. "Looking ahead, LogicaCMG and Intec will most likely have both points of competition as well as areas of cooperation. Given this, it is better for Intec, LogicaCMG and myself if any potential conflict of interest is prevented before it occurs," says Thomas Ivarson. "I have sincerely enjoyed my work in the Intec Board. With the acquisition of Singl.eView Intec now has a significant opportunity of growth with its broad and competitive product portfolio." Commenting on his departure, John Hughes, non-Executive Chairman of Intec noted: "Thomas has made a strong and substantial contribution to Intec during his time on the Board, for which I would like to express our thanks; additionally I am most appreciative of the professionalism and pragmatism he has demonstrated in the recognising the potential for a conflict of interest and taking the opportunity to avoid this. On behalf of the Board, I extend my thanks to Thomas and look forward to a continued, mutually beneficial relationship between LogicaCMG and Intec." Mike Frayne, who is a co-founder and former Executive Chairman of Intec, has also asked to step down from his position on the Board. Mr. Frayne said of his decision: "Having helped steer Intec to its present position, and with the acquisition of Singl.eView clearly performing well, I feel that now is the time for me to look to my other business interests. I am proud of what has been achieved to date and wish the company well as it continues its development." John Hughes added: "Mike has made a tremendous contribution to Intec over the years and, on behalf of the Board, I extend my thanks to Mike and wish him well with his new endeavours." "These changes in part signal that we are moving into a different phase of the company's growth, with many exciting opportunities ahead. We have retained a leading search firm to assist us and will now seek to add strength to our remaining Board as we identify new non-executive Directors. We look forward to them making the same kind of excellent contribution we have enjoyed from Thomas and Mike."
