			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;"><strong>Curaçao leads Caribbean region in aviation safety and efficiency </strong></p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">WILLEMSTAD, Curaçao, Nov. 18, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ &#8211;<strong> </strong>Today, the <a style="color: blue;" href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2643874-1&amp;h=1083450469&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fdc-ansp.org%2F&amp;a=Dutch+Caribbean+Air+Navigation+Service+Provider+(DC-ANSP)" target="_blank">Dutch Caribbean Air Navigation Service Provider (DC-ANSP)</a> announced it has deployed <a style="color: blue;" href="https://c212.net/c/link/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2643874-1&amp;h=1408956535&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.aireon.com%2F&amp;a=Aireon%27s" target="_blank">Aireon&#8217;s</a> space-based ADS-B surveillance service in the Curaçao Flight Information Region (FIR). This milestone follows years of collaboration, with the two organizations signing the data services agreement (DSA) in October of 2015.</p>
<div style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px; width: 800px;" dir="ltr"><img title="Aireon - MAKING GLOBAL AIR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE A POWERFUL REALITY " src="https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/390350/Aireon_LLC_Logo.jpg" border="0" alt="Aireon - MAKING GLOBAL AIR TRAFFIC SURVEILLANCE A POWERFUL REALITY " align="middle" /></div>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">Effective immediately, DC-ANSP will have 100 percent air traffic surveillance over the 300,000 square kilometers that make up Curaçao&#8217;s FIR. Adjacent to Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica and Colombia, the majority of this FIR is oceanic.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">&#8220;Space-based ADS-B will revolutionize how DC-ANSP ensures the highest levels of safety and efficiency throughout the Curaçao FIR,&#8221; said Micilia Albertus-Verboom, Director General, DC-ANSP. &#8220;Before Aireon, the northwestern sector of our FIR lacked real-time air traffic surveillance coverage. Now, space-based ADS-B provides coverage where before there was none.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">The Curaçao FIR is a major throughway for flights; DC-ANSP manages critical routes between the United States, Central America, South America, the Caribbean and Europe throughout the Curaçao FIR. Because of space-based ADS-B coverage, DC-ANSP&#8217;s air traffic controllers will be able to reduce separation and guide overflight efficiency in the northwestern sector of the Curaçao FIR.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">Director General Albertus-Verboom also noted, &#8220;among the many benefits we anticipate, Aireon will allow us to facilitate seamless transitions between Curaçao&#8217;s neighboring FIRs. Regions adjacent to us will benefit from safer and more efficient hand-overs, which are afforded by the minimization of human error through data-driven decision making.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">&#8220;Deploying Aireon in Curaçao FIR solidifies DC-ANSP&#8217;s position as a leader of aviation safety and efficiency in the region,&#8221; said Don Thoma, CEO, Aireon. &#8220;Our data will provide DC-ANSP more control over how they manage cross-regional and intersecting routes within their airspace and will enable complete situational awareness for DC-ANSP as they continue to deliver superior safety and efficiency to the flying public.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">For the past several years, DC-ANSP and Aireon have worked closely on the technical implementation of the system in Curaçao, which includes the use of the regional network, Mejoras al Enlace de Voz del ATS (MEVA), as a secondary telecommunication link as a means to transfer space-based ADS-B data to DC-ANSPs operations center. Additionally, Aireon has worked alongside DC-ANSP leadership to ensure preparation for the enhancements in procedural operations.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">&#8220;Not only have we changed how we manage our airspace, but we are also adapting how we work with our adjacent airspaces and our customers, and Aireon has been our partner at every step of the way for the last four years,&#8221; said Director General Albertus-Verboom.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;">Curacao has a January 1, 2020 ADS-B equipage mandate for part of the airspace where there is no conventional radar coverage. Users in Class A airspace must be ADS-B equipped.</p>
<p style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.28px;"><strong>About Aireon LLC<br />
</strong>Aireon has deployed a space-based air traffic surveillance system for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) equipped aircraft throughout the entire globe. Aireon is harnessing next-generation aviation surveillance technologies that were formerly ground-based and, for the first time ever, is extending their reach globally to significantly improve efficiency, enhance safety, reduce emissions and provide cost savings benefits to all stakeholders. Space-based ADS-B surveillance covers oceanic, polar and remote regions, and augments existing ground-based systems that are limited to terrestrial airspace. In partnership with leading ANSPs from around the world, like NAV CANADA, the Irish Aviation Authority (IAA), Enav, NATS and Naviair, as well as Iridium Communications, Aireon is providing a global, real-time, space-based air traffic surveillance system, available to all aviation stakeholders.

<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">The tournament – held in Curaçao in its 11<sup>th</sup> year and raising a total of US$125,000 for the Cable &amp; Wireless Charitable Foundation &#8211; brought together over 90 participants made up of a variety of C&amp;W’s technology, programing and administrative partners, and donors of the Foundation.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">The donation from the Cable &amp; Wireless Charitable Foundation will be used towards CURA DOET, the biggest volunteer effort in Curaçao. Celebrated annually in March, the DOET weekend unites people who serve their communities across cultural and geographical differences. The activity consists of two national days of service whereby people in the communities are encouraged to get out and do something to help local worthwhile causes and NGOs.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">Since it was set up in 2013, CURA DOET has engaged more than 21,000 volunteers who have collectively participated in more than 100,000 hours of service. During CURA DOET, NGOs get an opportunity to spruce up their location and grounds, parks and schools get a makeover and elderly people and those with special needs are treated to a special day.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">The announcement comes one week after the Foundation confirmed funding of over US$290,000 to go towards rebuilding and equipping five schools in the most badly impacted areas of the Caribbean, following last year’s hurricane season.</p>

We’re very fortunate that we continue to have the assistance of C&amp;W’s technology, programming and administrative partners, who support the annual fundraising event through their participation and financial contribution.”</p>

<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">The annual charity golf event has previously been held in Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, St. Kitts and Nevis and Panama. Last year, in Panama, the funds were donated to three institutions that focus on supporting children: the Pro Niños de Darien, the San José de Malambo Orphanage and the Olga Sinclair Foundation. A variety of youth-centered programs have benefited from the tournament’s fundraising efforts over the years, including the SOS Children’s Home in Jamaica, the Sunshine Achievement Center for under-privileged children in Barbados and the Rainbow Rescue team in Trinidad. The tournament has also helped fund orphanages in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, and previously funded support programs for the Wilhelmina Fonds Breast Cancer Center in Curaçao.</p>

This follows the Foundation’s initial US$100,000 donation to ShelterBox for relief efforts after the hurricanes, as well as a clean-up of the CHANCES children’s home in Dominica as part of C&amp;W Communications’ annual Mission Day.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">The new funding – made up of five individual grants – is a continuation of the Foundation’s plans to restore and rebuild affected countries. The grants will be used to support critical education services in some of the most badly impacted countries including the British Virgin Islands (BVI), Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI), Dominica and Anguilla.</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>
<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">Specifically, the Foundation’s funding will be used as follows:</p>
<p><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;"> </span></p>

<li><strong>In BVI:</strong>
<ul type="circle">
<li><strong>US$100,000 </strong>will be used towards replacing the roof at the sole secondary school &#8211; Bregado Flax Secondary School &#8211; on Virgin Gorda</li>

</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>In TCI, US$100,000 </strong>will be used to provide computers, printers, desks and chairs for children in the Osetta Jolly Primary School</li>

The projects chosen also align with the Foundation’s strategic aims of educating and empowering communities.</p>

By rebuilding and furnishing schools in BVI, TCI, Dominica and Anguilla, we’re creating a better environment for these kids to learn and grow – giving them a great start in life and setting them up for future success.”</p>

<p style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; text-align: justify;" align="justify">Colesanti also thanked the major sponsors of the Foundation which include Sterlite; the Premier League; Anixter; Evolution Digital; One Caribbean; Lorac; HBO Latin America; Advantage Communications; Deloitte and Telenet. Their generosity contributed to the US$1 million that the Foundation has raised so far – which includes the US$500,000 seed funding provided by C&amp;W Communications at its launch.</p>

The Foundation is increasingly the company’s platform for advancing social development in the region, as it strives to fulfil its mission of connecting communities and transforming lives, by funding education and empowerment projects like these five initiatives. The Foundation has a number of similar projects in the pipeline and will announce more details in due course.</p>

A través de la reconstrucción y reparación de escuelas en las Islas Vírgenes Británicas (BVI), las Islas Turcas y Caicos (TCI), Domínica y Anguila, estamos creando un mejor ambiente para que estos niños aprendan y crezcan brindándoles un gran comienzo en sus vidas y preparándolos para un futuro exitoso”.</p>

Su generosidad contribuyó al US$1 millón de dólares que la Fundación ha recaudado hasta el momento, que incluye los US$500.000 dólares de fondo inicial que aportó C&amp;W Communications al momento de su lanzamiento.</p>

Esta Fundación es crecientemente la plataforma de la compañía para impulsar el desarrollo social en la región, ya que se esfuerza por cumplir con su misión de conectar comunidades y transformar vidas, por medio del otorgamiento de fondos para proyectos de educación e impulso tales como estas cinco iniciativas. La Fundación está trabajando en otros proyectos que anunciará con más detalles oportunamente.</p>

<li>Broadband RGU additions of 21,000 in Q4.<br />
• Network upgrades and improved go-to-market approach led to gains of 15,000 in Jamaica and 7,000 across our other Caribbean markets.<br />
• Panama leveraged its upgraded fixed infrastructure to increase sales of Mast3r bundles, however this was more than offset by churn on our legacy footprint leading to a decline of 1,000 RGUs.<br />
• We doubled the number of next-generation WiFi &#8220;Connect Boxes&#8221; across our broadband subscriber base in Q4 2017 to 55,000; significantly enhancing the quality of the in-home broadband experience for our customers.</li>
<li>Video additions of 3,000 RGUs in Q4, first overall net additions recorded in five quarters.<br />
• Excluding DTH losses of 4,000 in Panama, our fixed video RGUs grew by 7,000 across C&amp;W&#8217;s markets.<br />
• Jamaica grew strongly, benefiting from network investments and our unique Premier League content, which is a core asset of Flow Sports &#8211; the leading sports channel in the English-speaking Caribbean.</li>
<li>Fixed voice additions of 6,000 in Q4, taking 2017 additions to 13,000.<br />

<li>Mobile subscribers declined by 42,000 in Q4.

<li>Continued growth in Jamaica (23,000 additions) was more than offset by declines in Panama (61,000 decline) and the Bahamas (11,000 decline). The Panama decline reflects our ongoing focus on higher ARPU customers and competitive intensity in the market, while increased competition continued to impact the Bahamas.</li>

With the exception of the Bahamas, all of these C&amp;W markets are included in the “Other C&amp;W” category in the accompanying table. Homes passed counts for the British Virgin Islands, Dominica, and Anguilla reflect the pre-hurricane homes passed as of August 31, 2017. As of December 31, 2017, services to most of our fixed-line customers have not yet been restored in the British Virgin Islands, Dominica and Anguilla. While mobile services have been largely restored in these markets, we are still in the process of completing the restoration of our mobile network infrastructure.</p>

En nuestro cálculo de índices de crecimiento rebasados en pos del índice ajustado UIDA y el ingreso, se han considerado significativos ajustes a las políticas. En la sección <em>Resultados financieros, conciliación del índice ajustado UIDA &amp; adiciones de activos intangibles, equipos y bienes</em>, se incluye una conciliación de la pérdida neta con respecto al índice ajustado UIDA. Además, con vigencia en el año fiscal 2016, C&amp;W modificó la finalización de su año fiscal del 31 de marzo al 31 de diciembre a fin de adaptarse a Liberty Latin America.</p>

<ul style="background-color: transparent; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: 16px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal;" type="disc">
<li>Debido a la adición de 30.000 unidades generadoras de ingresos (RGUs) en el cuarto trimestre, el año fiscal 2017 cerró con 45.000 adiciones.
<ul type="circle">
<li>21.000 adiciones de unidades generadoras de ingresos (RGUs) en banda ancha en el cuarto trimestre.<br />
• La actualización de la red y el acercamiento de comercialización mejorado resultaron en un aumento de 15.000 en Jamaica y 7.000 en nuestros otros mercados del Caribe.<br />
• Panamá impulsó su infraestructura fija mejorada a fin de incrementar las ventas de paquetes de Mast3r. Sin embargo, esto fue más que compensado por una rotación en nuestra red de legado, lo que ocasionó una reducción de 1.000 unidades generadoras de ingresos (RGUs).<br />
• Duplicamos la cantidad de “Cajas de conexión” de WiFi de próxima generación en nuestra base de suscriptores de banda ancha en el cuarto trimestre de 2017, por lo que alcanzamos 55.000. Esto mejoró significativamente la calidad de la experiencia de nuestros clientes con respecto a los servicios de banda ancha residenciales.</li>
<li>3.000 nuevas adiciones de unidades generadoras de ingresos (RGUs) de servicios de video en el cuarto trimestre, lo que representa las primeras adiciones netas generales registradas en los últimos cinco trimestres.<br />
• Sin contar la pérdida de 4.000 DTH en Panamá, la cantidad de unidades generadoras de ingreso (RGUs) de servicios de video fijo aumentó en 7.000 en los mercados de C&amp;W.<br />
• Jamaica tuvo un fuerte crecimiento y se benefició de las inversiones de red y nuestro contenido de la Liga Premier único, un recurso clave de Flow Sports, el canal anglosajón líder en el sector de habla inglesa del Caribe.</li>
<li>Debido a que se adicionaron 6.000 unidades de voz fija en el cuarto trimestre, el 2017 cerró con 13.000 adiciones.<br />
• Un mayor enfoque en paquetes ha impulsado la demanda, principalmente en Panamá, Trinidad y Jamaica en 2017.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>La cantidad de suscriptores de servicios móviles se redujo en 42.000 en el cuarto trimestre.
<ul type="circle">
<li>El crecimiento continuo en Jamaica (23.000 adiciones) fue más que compensado por reducciones en Panamá (61.000 disminuciones) y Bahamas (11.000 disminuciones). La reducción en Panamá refleja nuestro continuo enfoque en los clientes de mayor ingreso promedio por usuario y una intensidad competitiva en el mercado, mientras que un aumento en la competencia continuó impactando Bahamas.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Las iniciativas de nuevas construcciones y mejoras resultaron en aproximadamente 90.000 instalaciones en el cuarto trimestre, lo que suma en 2017 un total de 254.000 hogares nuevos o mejorados.</li>

Esto resultó en interrupciones a nuestros servicios de telecomunicaciones en estas islas. A excepción de Bahamas, todos estos mercados de C&amp;W están incluidos en la categoría “Otra C&amp;W” en la tabla adjunta.  Los recuentos de hogares para las Islas Vírgenes Británicas, Dominica y Anguila reflejan las viviendas aprobadas antes del huracán al 31 de agosto de 2017. Al 31 de diciembre de 2017, los servicios para la mayoría de nuestros clientes de línea fija aún no han sido restaurados en las Islas Vírgenes Británicas, Dominica y Anguila. Si bien los servicios móviles se han restaurado en gran medida en estos mercados, todavía estamos en el proceso de completar la restauración de nuestra infraestructura de red móvil.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify"><strong>The Cloud and Managed Services Partner Master designation</strong> is for partners who sell and deliver Cisco powered products enabled by a world-class network operation center responsible for delivering, monitoring and pro-active management and maintenance services. Cisco powered product offers are best-in-class, flexible, and scalable cloud and managed services that are designed to help customers to expand their reach, enhance their customer experience and capitalize on emerging opportunities. The customer benefits from superior levels of service, security, and 24-hour support from Cisco partners who undergo rigorous certification and a third-party audit of their solutions.</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">Following several years of significant investment, C&amp;W Business has become the region’s premier hosted solutions and ITaaS provider, with world-class Tier III/IV facilities located in <strong>Bogota </strong>(2), <strong>Panama</strong>, <strong>Miami</strong>, <strong>Cayman</strong>, and <strong>Curacao</strong>, all inter-connected via our unmatched subsea fiber network (50,000 km and growing) reaching over 40 markets. C&amp;W Business is globally recognized by Gartner which has named C&amp;W Business to its coveted “Magic Quadrant” for the last 3 years and Ovum ranks C&amp;W #4 globally for our <strong>Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) solutions</strong>.</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">To attain the CMSP Master designation, C&amp;W Business went through a rigorous vetting process by Cisco which included showing a network operation center capable of servicing multiple ‘referenceable’ customers as well as passing an independent third-party audit of capabilities. As a Cisco Managed Services Master Partner, C&amp;W Business also had to demonstrate that it has established managed service ITIL processes, practices, and has tools in place to support Cisco advanced technologies at all phases of the lifecycle — prepare, plan, design, implement, operate, and optimize.</p>

<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">Shuja Khan, Chief Commercial Officer, C&amp;W Communications said, “We are truly delighted to have earned this CMSP Master Certification for the Caribbean and Latin America. Attaining this globally recognized certification further underlines our expertise and capacity to provide Cloud based Managed Services to our customers in the region. As the only provider in the Caribbean with this certification, it also demonstrates our position as one of Cisco’s “go-to” partners for providing cloud based services.”</p>

<h3 style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; text-align: center;">C&amp;W Business obtiene la certificación Master Cloud and Managed Services Partner, de Cisco®</h3>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="left"><span style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;">CaribPR Wire, MIAMI, Jan. 26, 2018:</span>&#8211; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://cwcbusiness.com/" target="_blank">C&amp;W Business</a> anunció hoy que la compañía ha obtenido la certificación Master Cloud and Managed Services Partner (CMSP) de Cisco para la región del Caribe y América Latina, por lo que ahora forma parte de un selecto grupo de socios de Cisco® en todo el mundo. C&amp;W es el primer proveedor que opera en la región en recibir esta distinción.</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">La certificación Master Cloud and Managed Services Partner (CMSP) se orienta a socios que venden productos impulsados por Cisco que dependen de un Centro de Operaciones de Red (NOC) de clase mundial que brinda y monitorea servicios de mantenimiento y gestión proactivos. Las ofertas de productos impulsados por Cisco son servicios gestionados y en la Nube escalables, flexibles y destacados en su clase, y están diseñados para ayudar a los clientes a expandir su alcance, fortalecer la experiencia al cliente y capitalizar las oportunidades. Los clientes se beneficiarán de niveles de servicio superiores, seguridad y soporte las 24 horas por parte de socios de Cisco con rigurosas certificaciones, y cuyas soluciones son auditadas por terceros.</p>

Por su parte, Ovum clasifica a C&amp;W #4 a nivel global por sus soluciones de <strong>Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS</strong>).</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">Para lograr la certificación Master CMSP, C&amp;W Business atravesó un riguroso proceso de evaluación realizado por Cisco que incluyó contar con un Centro de Operaciones de Red (NOC) capaz de servir a múltiples clientes “de referencia” y aprobar una auditoría de capacidades independiente realizada por un tercero. Como compañía socia Master de Servicios Gestionados de Cisco, C&amp;W Business también tuvo que demostrar haber establecido prácticas y procesos de ITIL de servicios gestionados y contar con herramientas para respaldar las tecnologías avanzadas de Cisco en todas las fases de su ciclo de vida (preparación, planeamiento, diseño, implementación, operación y optimización).</p>

I also want to thank John Reid for his many contributions to the company and facilitating a smooth transition.”</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">“Inge is a dynamic leader who has successfully driven financial performance and built capable teams,” said Betzalel Kenigsztein, Liberty Latin America’s Chief Operating Officer. “As we look to the future for C&amp;W, we are confident that Inge is the right leader to help rebuild operations that were damaged by this year’s hurricanes and deliver growth for all our stakeholders.”</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">Smidts commented, “I am excited to take on the role of CEO at C&amp;W and work with the new management team that will lead Liberty Latin America into the future. The prospects for C&amp;W are bright and I look forward to leveraging my experiences at Liberty Global and Telenet to bring a commercial, marketing and customer-focus that will help deliver results.”</p>
<p style="font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; font-size: medium;" align="justify">John Reid, C&amp;W’s current CEO, will help ensure a seamless leadership transition until Smidts’ tenure begins in February 2018.
