TEN years ago agreement was reached between Caribbean Communications Network Limited (CCN) of Trinidad and Tobago and The Nation Corporation of Barbados to merge and create a regional public media company under the name of One Caribbean Media Limited to be quoted on the Stock Exchanges of Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados.

It is important to reflect on the origin of the relationship between the Barbados and Trinidad companies. In 1973 the founders of the Nation decided to start a weekly newspaper in Barbados commencing in November in that year. Premises in Bridgetown had been located, a small staff had been recruited and advertising had been booked for the opening day. serving Caribbean readers, viewers digital footprint as it pursues New Media Regrettably the printing press, purchased and advertisers both in the region and initiatives across our existing electronic in Trinidad, was mysteriously damaged worldwide. platforms.

PAGE 2 | JANUARY - MARCH 2016 DAWN THOMAS GROUP CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, ONE CARIBBEAN MEDIA LTD

I joined the OCM team just about eight years ago in the po- sition of Chief Executive Officer, Caribbean Communications Network Ltd and was appointed to the position of Group Chief Executive Officer, One Caribbean Media Ltd (OCM) in January 2011. Working with the OCM team has been an ex- tremely rewarding experience for me since the core of what we do connects with me both on an emotional and spiritual level. What I particularly love about this Group is the relent- less commitment consistently demonstrated to the principles associated with operating a free press and the public’s right to know. I sincerely believe that it is this commitment and sense of responsibility that have allowed the Group’s media assets to attain and hold leadership positions across all media platforms and achieve financial strength and success over the years. Dawn Thomas As I reflect on this important milestone, I must make mention Group Chief Executive Officer of my admiration and gratitude for the tremendous contribu- tion made by so many special individuals in shaping the OCM Group. Craig Reynald (former OCM, CEO) now retired would have played a critical role in enabling the merger of CCN and a number of great media brands and started the journey of se- lective diversification. In 2006, OCM was comprised 9 brands, 10 years later we can boast of having 20 brands. Former CEO, Craig Reynald, left with Sir Fred Gollop, Q.C., Chairman The Group appreciates that it is part of the Caribbean commu- nity and has demonstrated its commitment to building a bet- ter regional space through the promotion and spearheading of many initiatives in areas which include education and health. We are very humbled and grateful for the tremendous support that we have received from the public that we serve, our employees, advertisers, shareholders and all the other stakeholders and will strive always to live up to and surpass their expectations.

I am most definitely richly blessed and proud to have this op- portunity to lead this great regional Group at this time, to work alongside team members who embrace and are prepared to work tirelessly in pursuit of the Group’s aspirations. It is my belief that as a result of the team’s collective efforts, OCM is well positioned to grow and thrive in the new technology era before us. We have the Nation Group to be a reality. Additionally, individuals such as made the right strategic investments in the new media platforms; Ken Gordon, Harold Hoyte and Sir Fred Gollop would have played we have diversified, built a strong talent pool and kept a steady invaluable roles in building the CCN and The Nation Groups into and unwavering focus on operational excellence. the great institutions they are presently.
