MARKHAM, Ontario, February 1st, 2012 – Everlink, a leading provider of Integrated Payment Solutions and Services in the Canadian marketplace, has implemented divisional realignments.

As Everlink continues to evolve as a comprehensive provider of Payments Solutions, we have implemented a number of corporate Divisional realignments, including changes to some Executive Leadership Team (ELT) portfolios and related functional accountabilities. These changes are necessary as we position our business for growth, extend our products and services into new lines of business and expand our client portfolio in existing as well as new markets, while simultaneously continuing to provide the operational performance, client service & support and business diversification excellence we have worked so hard to achieve and have earned a reputation for delivering.

Effective February 1, 2012, the following changes will officially take effect:

• Paul Mighton will assume the role of Vice President, Channel Sales & Marketing. The IT Service Delivery Management (ITSDM) Division will be realigned across several other Divisions, with the newly created Channel Sales and Marketing Division assuming a number of new accountabilities. Specifically, in this newly created portfolio, Paul will retain his current accountability for the NCSC and several related operational functions, under the leadership of Ray Boorman. To focus increased attention on the POS Acquiring line of business and ISO market segment, Paul will assume accountability for account management and new sales related to all ISO clients, the Merchant Acquiring Program (MAP) and all ISO new business growth opportunities, under the leadership of Don Moore and Tom Dolan. To explore and develop new business ventures and opportunities, Paul will be accountable for opportunistic M&A activity, leading the formation of joint ventures and developing business opportunities in non-traditional markets. And finally, Paul will assume accountability for Marketing, Communications and Event Planning and Coordination functions. Marketing and Communications Department leadership will be announced in the coming weeks.
• Jim Hackett will continue as Vice President, Business Development, accountable for all account management and new sales growth related to the Credit Union and Bank market segments. By focusing this portfolio, our objective is to emphasize account development and growth within these two well served and Everlink-core, business sectors. In addition, Jim will assume accountability for the Client Service Delivery Department (formerly in ITSDM), led by Darlyn Thompson, providing Professional Services coordination, implementation activities and both hands-on and second-level (escalated) client service and support.
