Pierre L'Hoest leaves EVS

Liège  (Belgium), September  29, 2011 - EVS  Broadcast Equipment  S.A. (Euronext
Brussels:  EVS.BR, Bloomberg: EVS BB, Reuters: EVSB.BR) (Pinksheets: EVBEF), the
leader in Professional Digital Video applications for live, near-live and studio
TV  production,  today  announced  the  departure  of  Pierre  L'Hoest, Managing
Director  and CEO. Following his departure,  the Board of Directors has modified
the  composition of  the Executive  Committee, now  composed of  Michel Counson,
Jacques  Galloy and Luc Doneux. Under the leadership of Pierre Rion President of
the  Board,  the  Executive  Committee  will  manage  the technical, commercial,
operational,  corporate and financial functions of EVS, pending the announcement
of a new management structure in early 2012.

On  Thursday, September 29, 2011, the  Board of Directors  has taken note of the
end  of  the  mandates  and  functions  of  Pierre  L'Hoest  (and of his company
Belinvest  S.A.), including that of Managing  Director of the company he founded
with Laurent Minguet and Michel Counson, a position he held since 1994.

EVS  has  experienced  a  rapid  growth  and  significant  success in new market
segments,  which has  doubled the  workforce in  the last  3 years, both  at the
headquarters in Liege and abroad. It is this impressive growth and prospects for
the  coming years that  required a new  system of governance. Since 2009, Pierre
L'Hoest,  the  Board  of  Directors,  and  management  of  EVS  have initiated a
significant  project to adapt the structure of  EVS to allow the company to have
all  the advantages it needs for this  new phase of growth. The establishment of
the new team is a step in this process.

"The entire Board of Directors wishes to thank Pierre L'Hoest for the passion he
has  brought  throughout  his  engagement  with  EVS, since its inception", said
Pierre  Rion, President of  the Board of  Directors of EVS.  "His vision for the
products  and on-going concern  for ergonomic applications  have strongly driven
the  success of EVS.  The newly implemented  Executive Committee, which includes
the presence of Michel Counson and managers who have proven themselves, allow us
to  envisage the succession of Pierre L'Hoest with confidence. I will personally
undertake the link between the Executive Committee and the Board of Directors."

Michel Counson, Managing Director and Co-founder of EVS, assumes the function of
Chief Technical Officer (CTO).  Jacques Galloy assumes the roles of Director and
Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Luc Doneux assumes the role of Head of EMEA, APAC
& Major Events.
