Board Appointment
Aquis Exchange PLC is pleased to announce that it has
re-appointed serial entrepreneur Glenn Collinson to its Board.
Glenn rejoins as an independent non-executive director (INED) as
part of the succession planning for the Board.
Glenn first joined the Company's Board in March 2019 before
transferring to the Board of Aquis Stock Exchange Limited ("AQSE")
in March 2020. Glenn has now re-joined the board of Aquis Exchange
PLC with immediate effect and has stepped down from AQSE to enable

$3 billion market capitalisation entity in 2006 (as CSR Plc) and
one of the biggest players in the Bluetooth market. Since leaving
CSR he has held a number of executive and non-executive
directorships in UK and French companies - both public and private
- that specialise in technology. He is a member of the Institute of
Engineering and Technology and holds an MSc in electronics as well
as an MBA from Cranfield University.
Commenting on the appointment, Niki Beattie, Chair of Aquis,
said:
"We're delighted that Glenn is re-joining the main Board. He has
gathered considerable experience of the Company since joining as an
INED in early 2019 and initially serving time on the main Board of
Aquis prior to more recently serving on the board of Aquis Stock
Exchange Limited. His energy, perspective and commitment bring
great value to the Board."
Glenn Collinson added:
"I am really excited to have the opportunity to re-join the main
Board of Aquis Exchange PLC as it continues to lead the Company on
its very successful journey."

Notes to Editors
About Aquis Exchange PLC
Aquis Exchange PLC is an exchange services group, which operates
pan-European cash equities trading businesses (Aquis Exchange),
growth and regulated primary markets (Aquis Stock Exchange/AQSE)
and develops/licenses exchange software to third parties (Aquis
Technologies).
Aquis Exchange is authorised and regulated by the UK Financial
Conduct Authority and France's Autorité des Marchés Financiers to
operate Multilateral Trading Facility businesses in the
UK/Switzerland and in EU27 respectively. Aquis operates lit order
books and does not allow aggressive non-client proprietary trading,
which has resulted in lower market impact and signalling risk on
Aquis than other trading venues in Europe. According to independent
studies, trades on Aquis are less likely to lead to price movement
than on other lit markets. Aquis uses a subscription pricing model
which works by charging users according to the message traffic they
generate, rather than a percentage of the value of each stock that
they trade.
Aquis Stock Exchange (AQSE) is a stock market providing primary
and secondary markets for equity and debt products. It is
authorised as a Recognised Investment Exchange, which allows it to
operate a regulated listings venue. The AQSE Growth Market is
divided into two segments 'Access' and 'Apex', with different
levels of admission criteria. The Access market focuses on earlier
stage growth companies, while Apex is the intended market for
larger, more established businesses.
Aquis Technologies is the software and technology division of
Aquis Exchange PLC. It creates and licenses cutting-edge,
cost-effective matching engine and trade surveillance technology
for banks, brokers, investment firms and exchanges.
Aquis Exchange PLC (AQX.L) is listed on the Alternative
Investment Market of the LSE (AIM) market. For more
