TRILLIUM CAPITAL REQUESTS SEAT ON GETTY IMAGES BOARD OF DIRECTORS

BOSTON, April 14, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Trillium Capital LLC announced that it has requested that its Managing Partner, Scott Murray, join the Board of Directors of Getty Images Holding, Inc. (NYSE: GETY) ("Getty" or the "Company").

The principles of Trillium Capital LLC own over 500,000 shares of common stock and common stock equivalents of Getty. We believe that the Board of Directors of Getty (the "Board") has a fiduciary responsibility to maximize shareholder value for all stockholders. 

Trillium Capital has already approached Getty to elect its Managing Partner, Scott Murray, to its Board. Murray would make an excellent member of the Audit or Compensation Committees.

Murray has decades of experience. These include such things as:

• Serving as the Chief Financial Officer of The Learning Company.
• Serving as the Chief Executive Officer of Modus Media, 3Com, and Stream Global Services.
• Serving as the Chairman of the Board of H3C Technologies in China, Protocol Communications and Stream Global Services.
• Led private companies owned by large private equity firms that have led to substantial returns.
• Expert in turnaround situations and launching new strategy and revenue growth programs.
• Founder and Chairman of the Board of Global BPO Corp and raised $250 million in a Special Purpose Acquisition Corp. ("SPAC") in 2007.
• Invented the current PIPE & Tender SPAC process in 2008 that has been used in recent years to raise billions of dollars.
• Is a Chartered Accountant and a Financial Expert according to the rules of the United States Securities & Exchange Commission ("SEC").
• Substantial experience leading public companies and making related filings with the SEC.
• Completed and led over forty (40) M&A transactions.
• Completed over $2 billion of financings both public and private issuances.
• Deep experience with the financial community including leading investment banks and private equity firms.

Murray said; "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to join the Board of Getty.  If elected I would continue to hold shares of the Company that I own and would accept no compensation for my services on the Board."

Trillium Capital believes there is over $1 billion of untapped value in Getty and that the stock should trade above $12 per share. Murray would be a strong proponent of Getty conducting a strategic review process to identify a potential suitor.

Getty is a unique opportunity to create value for its shareholders. Trillium Capital believes that Murray would be an ideal candidate to join the Getty Board. We hope that he will be included in the upcoming proxy and that shareholders will vote FOR him at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. In the event that Getty does not include Murray in its Proxy Material, you might be able to vote for him or change your vote at the Annual General Meeting.
