As Mercury's vice-president for two years, Mr. Whitmarsh has played a key role in the significant growth and success the company has experienced in the last year. Prior to joining Mercury, Mr. Whitmarsh was vice-president of sales and marketing of British Aerospace Inc. in Washington, D.C. His responsibilities included sales and marketing, technical analysis and public relations for British Aerospace sales offices in the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

"When I joined Mercury in late 1997, it was my objective to transform the company into a leading provider of innovative airline operations software systems. Following an aggressive sales and marketing strategy, Mercury has been able to build an impressive client list of airlines from around the world. Successful licensing agreements with DHL and British Airways Regional, among others have placed Mercury in the forefront of the industry," Mr. Forster said. "I am very proud of the achievements the team at Mercury has made under my leadership and my mandate as president and CEO has been fulfilled. Graham Whitmarsh's experience and abilities will be an asset for the company as it meets the new challenges that lay ahead." Although Mr. Forster will no longer be involved in the day to day operations of the company, his role as chairman will be focused on corporate strategy with particular emphasis on acquisitions and partnerships. The board wishes to thank Mr. Forster for his valuable contributions to date and is looking forward to his further assistance in moving the company forward strategically.
