Fidelity Wise Origin Bitcoin Fund amends trust agreement to allow in-kind share transactions
LONDON - Made Tech Group PLC announced Thursday that Executive Director Chris Blackburn will step down from the board effective July 25, 2025, after 13 years with the company.
According to the company’s statement, Blackburn will remain with the business until the end of August to ensure an orderly handover before departing to pursue new opportunities.
As a significant shareholder in the Group, Blackburn has agreed to a 12-month share lock-in agreement, preventing him from disposing of any shares during this period without prior company approval and subject to orderly market provisions.
"Whilst we are sad to see him go, I want to thank him personally, and on behalf of the whole team, for his outstanding contribution and the important role he has played in the Made Tech journey," said Rory MacDonald, Chief Executive Officer, in the press release.
Blackburn commented on his departure: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my 13 years at Made Tech and the journey we have been on, but now feels like the right time to take a step back. I leave the business in excellent health and will continue to follow the story as a committed shareholder."
Made Tech Group, which is listed on the London Stock Exchange (LON:LSEG), did not announce a replacement for Blackburn’s position on the board.
