Commenting on his decision Mr. Armstrong stated, "I have had the pleasure of being a part of GeoMet since before the Company completed its IPO in 2006. Unfortunately, increasing commitments on my time due to my position as Chairman of Armstrong Land Company, LLC make continued active participation as a Board member impossible."

Commenting on these announcements J. Darby Seré, President and CEO, stated, "On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Hord for his service to the Company. I will personally miss his candor in the boardroom and his common sense approach to resolving the complex issues that the Company faced during his tenure.
