(“Forgent” or the “Company”) (NYSE: FPS), a leading designer and manufacturer of electrical distribution equipment, today announced that Ryan Fiedler will step down as Chief Financial Officer and transition to an external consulting role, enabling him to spend more time with his family while continuing to support Forgent. The Company’s Board of Directors has appointed Amy Ard, Forgent’s Executive Vice President of Finance, to succeed Mr. Fiedler.

“I’m incredibly proud of the success that Forgent has achieved and of the finance organization that we built at Forgent,” said Ryan Fiedler. “The Forgent finance team is one of the most talented I have worked with over my career, and they are well equipped to support the Company in its next chapter of growth. I am looking forward to spending more time with my family in the coming months,” added Mr. Fiedler.

Ms. Ard has served as the Company’s Executive Vice President of Finance since January, where she has had responsibility for the Company’s financial planning, reporting, treasury and operational finance functions. She has been part of Forgent’s leadership team since the Company’s founding and played a central role in its initial public offering, including helping to establish the financial and governance processes required for a public company. Ms. Ard has more than 25 years of senior finance and accounting experience across public and private companies. She began her career in public accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers.

“On behalf of the entire Forgent team, I want to thank Ryan for his leadership and many contributions to building our finance organization,” said Gary Niederpruem, Chief Executive Officer of Forgent. “I am also pleased to have Amy as our next Chief Financial Officer.
