Board Changes
31 March 2025 Change Financial Limited (ASX: CCA) (Change or the Company) is pleased to
announce changes to its Board of Directors.
Successful fintech entrepreneur, Michael Giles, joins the Board
Mr. Michael Giles will join the board as a Non-Executive Director effective today.
Michael brings with him a wealth of experience in financial technology and an impressive track record
as a founder and CEO of multiple fintech companies he led from start to exit. Michael has a deep
understanding of product innovation and growth strategy which will be invaluable as Change continues
to deliver innovative payment solutions and scale. Michael has been a substantial holder of Change
since February 2023.
Mr. Giles said of his appointment, “I’m excited to join the Board of Change at such a pivotal time in
the Company’s growth journey. As the largest shareholder, I’m deeply invested in the success of
Change and firmly believe that the underlying value already created to date is not reflected in the
Company’s current share price. I see a significant opportunity to unlock that value and help drive the
next phase of growth. I’m excited to work alongside the Board and executive team to take Change to
the next level and realise its full potential delivering value for all shareholders.”
Retirement of Eddie Grobler and appointment of Geoff Sam as Chairman
Following more than three years of service, Mr. Eddie Grobler will retire from the Board on 30 April

companies and currently serves as Chairman of Earlypay Limited (ASX: EPY) and director of IDT
Australia Limited (ASX: IDT).
Mr. Grobler said of his retirement, “It has been an honour to serve on the Board of Change over the
last three and a half years and I am extremely proud of what we have achieved as a team during that
time. With our evolution into a leading card issuing and payments provider in New Zealand and Australia
and our expanding footprint in the global payments testing market, our Company is at an exciting
inflection point and positioned for future success.
“I would also like to thank our shareholders, Board, and the amazing Change team for all your hard
work, energy, and support. It has been a pleasure working with everyone, and I know the Company is
in great hands moving forward.”
