Last month, PhotoChannel (OTC BB: PNWIF.OB) announced, among other news, that Robert Chisholm had resigned as CFO, and was replaced by Simon Bodymore, formerly, the Company's VP of Finance. At the time, the company announced that Mr. Chisholm had been retained as a consultant to help with the transition, and that Mr. Chisholm was also considering "other long-term opportunities with the Company". Yesterday, the company announced that Mr. Chisholm had joined the company's board of directors.
Reader N.L. asked me to speculate on this. As I mentioned to him via e-mail, I didn't have any speculation to offer, but I do have a few clarifications after speaking with David Bremner in PhotoChannel's investor relations department today. According to Mr. Bremner:
- The plan had long been for Mr. Bodymore to replace Mr. Chisholm at CFO. Initially, the idea had been to do so at the end of the company's fiscal year, last fall, but when the stock market went into (to use the technical investor relations term) the shitter, the company decided to hold off on the change until the annual meeting last month.
- The company had also long planned to add Mr. Chisholm to the board of directors. It couldn't do so last month, because Mr. Chisholm first needed to get approval from his current business partners in an unrelated venture.
- None of the seven board members announced last month has resigned; instead, the company has expanded the number of directors to eight to accommodate Mr. Chisholm.
