On December 19, 2025, Ibex Limited (the “Company”) announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) unanimously appointed Shuja Keen as a director of the Company to fill the current vacancy on the Board. Mr. Keen previously served on the Ibex Board from March 2018 through December 2024. Mr. Keen brings extensive experience in executive leadership, global operations, artificial intelligence, and a deep understanding of both the CX industry and capital markets to the Board. During his earlier tenure on the Ibex Board, Mr. Keen was instrumental in overseeing the Company’s AI strategy and evolution as a market disruptor.
There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Keen and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Keen was appointed as a director of the Company. There are no family relationships between Mr. Keen and any director or officer of the Company.
The Board appointed current director John Jones to serve as Chair of the Board. Since Mr. Jones is not considered independent under Nasdaq rules, the Board appointed Mingzhe (JJ) Zhuang to serve as Lead Independent Director, which further enhances the Board’s governance structure and is responsive to previously received shareholder feedback. The Board also appointed Mr. Zhuang as Chair of the Corporate Governance Committee, which is now constituted of Mr. Zhuang and Mr. Jones.
All of the appointments above were made by the Board after careful consideration, following the recommendation of the Nominating Committee of the Board, effective immediately, for a term that lasts until the earlier of the next annual general meeting of the Company or the appointee’s resignation, death, or removal.
