SITO Mobile Announces Election of Brent Rosenthal as Chairman of the Board

JERSEY CITY, N.J., June 08, 2017 -- SITO Mobile, Ltd. (NASDAQ:SITO), a leading mobile engagement platform (“SITO” or the “Company”), today announced that director Brent Rosenthal has been elected Chairman of the newly elected Board of Directors of the Company, effective immediately.  As previously announced, the newly elected Board of Directors was seated on June 1, 2017, following the delivery of results certified by an independent inspector of elections with respect to a consent solicitation undertaken by Stephen D. Baksa and Thomas J. Candelaria, along with certain director nominees.

Speaking on behalf of SITO’s newly elected Board, Chairman of the Board, Brent Rosenthal, added, “I am honored to be in the position of serving as Chairman of the Board of the Company, and will work tirelessly with my colleagues on the Board to continue to build value for all of the Company’s stakeholders, including our shareholders, employees and customers.  I also wanted to thank and express our deep appreciation for the extraordinary efforts of Stephen D. Baksa and Thomas J. Candelaria, who led the consent solicitation process and propelled the stockholders of the Company to take such definitive action by electing a new Board of Directors.  Without their efforts, it is unlikely that the Company’s stockholders would have coalesced to the extent that they did and thereby position our Company so well under our superb and newly-configured Board and management team.” 

Mr. Baksa, who led the consent solicitation process, praised the members of the incoming Board, saying, “The shareholders have emphatically chosen to take the Company in a new direction led by a Board composed of extraordinarily talented and qualified directors and executive officers with well-honed business acumen.”
