NEOMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES NAMES CHARLES T. JENSEN PRESIDENT, COO
AND ACTING CEO AFTER GRANTING TEMPORARY LEAVE OF ABSENCE
FROM CEO DUTIES TO CHAIRMAN CHARLES W. FRITZ
FT. MEYERS, FL, June 26, 2002 -- NeoMedia Technologies, Inc. (OTC BB: NEOM),
said today that its chairman, Charles W. Fritz, has asked for and been granted a
temporary leave of absence from his responsibilities as chief executive officer
by the company's Board, which, concurrently, elected Charles T. "Chuck" Jensen
president and chief operating officer, and also named him acting CEO.
Fritz, who founded NeoMedia, an international leader in print-to-Internet
technology, was granted a 90-day leave of absence for personal reasons. The
company said Fritz plans to resume his CEO responsibilities on or about
September 15, 2002.
Jensen, with NeoMedia since its IPO in November of 1995, had been vice
president, chief financial office and treasurer. He has more than three decades
of financial, accounting and business leadership experience, including being
treasurer and CFO for several companies and serving with Price Waterhouse.
Jensen has a B.B.A. in Accounting from Western Michigan University and is a
Certified Public Accountant.
NeoMedia also promoted David Dodge to vice president and CFO. Dodge, who
retains responsibilities as controller, was previously an auditor with Ernst &
Young LLP. He holds a B.A. in economics from Yale University, an M.S. in
Accounting from the University of Hartford, and is a certified public
accountant.
"These changes will strengthen NeoMedia at a time when the major forward
challenges are essentially finance-related," said Fritz. "We also are confident
that Chuck Jensen's past experience at other companies will contribute to
successful operations at NeoMedia."
