NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 08/26/15 — EFactor Group Corp. (OTCQB: EFCT) (“EFactor Group” or the “Company”), the premier business network for entrepreneurs designed to provide a variety of tools and business services to help drive business success, today announced it has appointed Mr. Ad Prins to its Board of Directors. Mr. Prins will join the recently appointed Robert Burnett and Leslie Green and join EFactor Group–s existing directors, including Thomas Trainer (Chairman of the Board), Brian Banmillier and members of the Company–s management team. Mr. Prins will serve on the Audit Committee. The appointment of Mr. Prins as the Company–s third independent Board member would enable the Company to meet Nasdaq–s listing standards in the event it is successful in listing our securities on Nasdaq in the future. The total number of EFactor Group board members is eleven members.
Mr. Prins, 59, has over 35 years of international business experience, primarily in the information communications technology industry. Mr. Prins currently serves in various senior leadership positions, including a non-executive board member of Share2Use B.V. Amsterdam, an information communications technology company which he co-founded in 2014, a non-executive board member of Driepuntnul B.V. Amsterdam, an education and information communications technology company which he co-founded in 2014, and managing partner of Increasive Ventures B.V., an investment company which he co-founded in 2010. Mr. Prins has also been the Chief Financial Officer of and investment company, Lighthouse Management B.V. since 2005 and sole owner of AddVice B.V., Amsterdam, an interim management company, since 1993.

Delft., an information communications technology company which he co-founded, where he served in various positions including as a non-executive board member. From 2005 to 2008, Mr. Prins served as the chief financial officer of a life sciences company, River Diagnostics B.V. Mr. Prins holds a Bachelor degree in Business Administration from Hanzehogeschool, Groningen, the Netherlands (1978).
“Ad provides our Board with a combination of operational expertise in technology with a strong background in finance,” said Adriaan Reinders, CEO of EFactor Group. “The caliber of Ad–s experience and that of each of our Board Members is critical to help us make decisions that we hope will grow our business and increase shareholder value. Our growth strategy, including our business objectives for the current year and future years will benefit from the continued review and guidance of our Board.”
The Company believes that the additional appointment of Mr. Prins and the establishment of the new committees announced on August 11, 2015 position the Company to meet almost all of the corporate governance requirements of the NASDAQ Capital Market, on which the Company intend to list its securities in the future. However, there is no assurance that the Company–s securities will be accepted for listing on NASDAQ.
