TROY, MI--(Marketwire -10/24/11)- TouchIT Technologies, Inc. (OTC.BB: TUCN.OB - News), a manufacturer of touch-based visual communication products, has announced today that effective immediately, Andi Brabin will take over as the CEO of the Company as Mr. Recep Tanisman retires from the position to concentrate on his other business interests. "It's times of change at TouchIT Technologies," remarked Andi Brabin, newly appointed CEO. "We've many interesting opportunities on the horizon, a strong order book and I am passionate about leading the company forward," he added.
The Company today also announced it has reduced the number of outstanding shares by acquiring 16,110,000 shares, or 22% of the Company's outstanding stock, from Mr. Tanisman in exchange for the Company's assets of the Turkish manufacturing entities. The Company's Turkish manufacturing entities have now been closed. In closing the Turkish subsidiaries, the Company has cleaned up the balance sheet dramatically and by moving production to Taiwan, this allows the Company to benefit from reduced overheads going forward. This results in a new I/O of 52.8m shares. Management believes that this action demonstrates its commitment to the common shareholder to improve and preserve the share structure, thus adding value for all.
"We're excited about the changes and feel they put the Company in a much stronger position to capitalize on the opportunities we have in hand. I'd like to add we're also committed to our investors and are ready to better serve the investment community," concluded Mr. Brabin.
