BLACKPEARL GROUP | Market Announcement

9 September 2024
Jyllene Miller appointed to Board of Directors

Black Pearl Group Limited (NZX:BPG) announces the appointment of Jyllene Miller as an
independent non-executive Director of the Board, effective 10 September 2024. This
follows the decision of Cherryl Pressley to step down from her role as a non-
independent Director.

CEO's Statement to Shareholders
“I’m pleased to welcome Jyllene Miller to the Blackpearl Group board as an independent
non-executive Director. Her appointment comes as Cherryl Pressley steps down.
Jyllene brings over 25 years of C-Suite and Board leadership experience. Jyllene’s
extensive governance experience and deep knowledge of the US technology industry
make her a valuable addition to our team. This independent view is something we lost
through Cherryl's previous involvement in executive tasks, and Jyllene’s presence will
help restore and strengthen objective oversight on the Board.
As Blackpearl Group expands its Pearl Diver service into the upper-end SME market,
Jyllene’s expertise in US mid-market sales, marketing, and commercial strategy will be
instrumental in guiding our next phase of growth.
This is a significant win for Blackpearl Group. The US market is challenging to break into,
and our success has been made possible by the quality of US-based staff and Board
members we’ve attracted. The addition of Jyllene further aligns us with the needs of our
primary market.”
