NCR Corporation Announces Teradata Board Members and Interim CFO
NCR Corporation (NYSE:NCR) today announced the expected board of
directors for Teradata Corporation, the independent company that will be
created through the strategic separation of NCR’s
data warehousing business. These directors are expected to assume their
new responsibilities in connection with the completion of the spin-off
transaction, which is anticipated to occur by the end of the third
calendar quarter of 2007, subject to customary conditions, including
receipt of a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service and final approval
by NCR’s board of directors.
James Ringler, current chairman of the NCR board of directors, will
serve as chairman of the Teradata board. In addition to his role at NCR,
Ringler serves on the boards of directors of The Dow Chemical Company,
FMC Technologies, Autoliv and Corn Products International, and
previously served as vice chairman of Illinois Tool Works Inc. and as
chairman and chief executive officer of Premark International.
Other current NCR board members expected to join the Teradata board
include: William Stavropoulos, former chief executive officer and
chairman, and chairman emeritus of the board of directors, of The Dow
Chemical Company, and a trustee to the Fidelity Group of Funds; Victor
Lund, former chairman and chief executive officer of American Stores
Company and former non-executive chairman of Mariner Health Care, Inc.;
C.K. Prahalad, the Harvey Freuhauf Professor of Business Administration
at the University of Michigan and a specialist in corporate strategy and
the role of top management in large, diversified, multinational
companies; and Pete Boykin, former president and chief operating officer
of Computer Sciences Corporation. In addition, Mike Koehler, who
currently leads the Teradata division of NCR, will be a member of the
Teradata board. Koehler is expected to become CEO once the spin off is
complete.
"The strategic guidance, expertise and
continuity of leadership these individuals provide will serve Teradata
well as it becomes a public company,” said
Ringler.
"While Bill Stavropoulos, Vic Lund and I will
be leaving the NCR board, C.K. Prahalad and Pete Boykin will continue to
serve on NCR’s board in addition to joining
the Teradata board. Additional NCR and Teradata directors are expected
to be appointed in the future to address the specific needs of each
company,” Ringler added.
Following the Teradata spin off, William Nuti will become chairman of
the NCR board while continuing in his role as NCR chief executive
officer. Linda Fayne Levinson, current NCR board member, will serve as
lead independent director. Levinson is a former partner with GRP, a
private equity investment fund. She serves on the boards of directors
for The Western Union Company, Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., Ingram
Micro, Inc., Vendare Media Corporation and DemandTec, Inc. and is
executive board chair for X1 Technologies, Inc.
In addition to Nuti, Prahalad, Boykin and Levinson, NCR’s
board of directors will include: Mark Frissora, chief executive officer
of the Hertz Corporation, and Gary Daichandt, former executive vice
president of Cisco Worldwide Operations.
Interim Chief Financial Officer Named for Teradata
Robert Young has been named interim chief financial officer for Teradata
Corporation. For the past seven years, he has served as chief financial
officer of the Teradata Division of NCR. Young joined NCR in 1978,
working in various financial management assignments in U.S. sales for
the next nine years. Subsequent positions included management roles in
Corporate Finance and Administration, the Financial Solutions Division

Products Division in Augsburg, Germany.

Murray State University and a master of business administration from

As previously announced, NCR shareholders as of the record date of the
distribution are expected to receive one share of Teradata Corporation
