Frank Sagnier, Interim Executive Chair commented:

"We are delighted to welcome Mikkel to everplay and are confident his extensive gaming and M&A track record will be invaluable to our business over the coming years. Mikkel understands and shares the Group's clear strategic vision, and is joining everplay at an exciting time, with the business in a strong position and delivering positive momentum.

"Mikkel has the right credentials to accelerate growth and take everplay to the next level. I look forward to working with Mikkel and will continue to be closely involved as non-executive Chair."

Mikkel Weider, Group Chief Executive Officer Designate, said:

"I am thrilled to be joining everplay, whose iconic games I've grown up playing and enjoying. I strongly believe in everplay's strategy of building market-leading labels focussed on clearly defined genres and audiences. The resulting diverse portfolio of great games, with a healthy mix of first-party and third-party IP, drives immense levels of expertise and synergies within each vertical.
