The appointment takes effect immediately.

The Corporation's Board Committees are comprised of four independent directors. The Corporation's directors are to hold office until the next annual meeting of the shareholders, or until successors are elected or appointed.
David Banks is Managing Partner at Carlyle Banks & Co. Ltd., a private equity and investment banking firm based in the United Kingdom. Mr. Banks has over 40 years of experience in investment banking, private equity and film production, having worked in New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and Toronto. During his career, he was a Senior Vice President at the Chase Manhattan Bank, President of the Financial Services Group at the Continental Grain Company, Finance Director at General Atlantic Group, CEO of AT&T Capital and Executive Chair at Newcourt Credit Group. He has headed the non-profit Boards of the National Ballet of Canada, The International Center of Photography, the Kenyon Review and the National Corporate Fund for the Dance. Mr. Banks holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Kenyon College, a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree from the University of Florida Law School and was awarded an Honorary Bachelor of Laws (LLB) from Kenyon College.
"We are delighted to welcome an executive of David Banks' caliber to Iplayco's board of directors," said Iplayco President and Chief Executive Officer Scott Forbes. "As Iplayco continues to increase revenue and expand globally, David's financial background and passion for creativity, as shown through his involvement in the arts, makes him a truly excellent fit for our team. Given his international experience with some of the world's leading commercial enterprises, we anticipate valuable input from David on many aspects of Iplayco's business."
