“I am honoured to be taking over the chairman role at this important point in Quantum’s history,” said Mr. Rau. “The newly reconstituted board is fully committed to acting with a sense of urgency to deliver value to our shareholders. I am very pleased that we have engaged AlixPartners, who will report directly to the board, to assist in the transformation of the business. The board and our senior management team will be working closely with the firm to aggressively pursue cost savings that will also enhance our ability to invest in growth initiatives.”
Mr. Rau added, “I would like to thank Paul for his leadership at Quantum during his many years as chairman and look forward to continuing to work with him and the entire board as we implement a strategic plan to transform our business and deliver long-term value for all of our shareholders. I would also like to thank Gregg for his many significant contributions to Quantum during his tenure on the board and wish him all the best in his future endeavors.”
