Decisive Dividend Corporation Announces COO Appointment, Issuance of Equity Incentive Awards, and Timing of Q1 2025 Results Conference Call

KELOWNA, BC, April 23, 2025 /CNW/ - Decisive Dividend Corporation (TSXV: DE) (the "Corporation" or "Decisive") announced today that effective June 2, 2025, Chris Goodchild has been appointed Chief Operating Officer of the Corporation.

Chris Goodchild is a senior executive with significant experience in manufacturing, having worked in various roles across the globe in his 20-year career at Magna International. Chris most recently served as General Manager of Magna's Autosystems division in Belleville, Ontario. During his time with Magna, his ever-growing roles and responsibilities provided him with a strong background in business development, facilities management, finance, human resources, logistics, maintenance, material planning, operational excellence, purchasing, and quality.

Jeff Schellenberg, Chief Executive Officer of Decisive, noted:

"We're thrilled to welcome Chris Goodchild to our team. Chris brings significant operational expertise, proven leadership, and a strong track record of scaling, growing, and integrating manufacturing businesses within decentralized structures. His addition is key as we continue to expand both organically and through acquisitions, enhancing operational efficiency and strengthening our approach to diligence and integration. These capabilities align directly with our goal of driving value-creating growth, and we're excited about the meaningful impact Chris will have as we move forward."

Chris Goodchild, Chief Operating Officer of Decisive, noted:

"Joining Decisive Dividend is a privilege. This is a company with an enviable portfolio of businesses, and a clear commitment to disciplined, long-term value creation. I come from a background of operational playbooks, integration leadership, and global manufacturing execution. My approach will be practical and execution-focused, enhancing what's already working and bringing structure where there's opportunity.

Investors can expect a COO who's obsessed with margin discipline, cash generation, and unlocking the full potential of each business we own, without losing the unique DNA that made them attractive in the first place. As we continue to grow through acquisition, I'll be applying that same discipline to ensure any additions to the portfolio are a cultural, strategic, and operational fit.

My mission is simple: build strong, autonomous businesses that compound value for customers, employees, and shareholders alike."

In addition, the Corporation announced that it has granted 5,000 stock options, pursuant to the Company's third amended and restated equity incentive plan as filed on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca, at an exercise price of $6.07 per stock option. The stock options will vest over a 36-month period, with one-third vesting 12 months from the date of grant, one-third vesting 24 months from the date of grant and the remaining one-third vesting 36 months from the date of grant.

The Corporation also announced today that it will host a conference call for interested parties on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 8:00am Pacific Time (11:00am Eastern Time) to discuss the Corporation's Q1 2025 results. The call will be hosted by Jeff Schellenberg, Decisive's Chief Executive Officer and Rick Torriero, Chief Financial Officer.
