ZOO DIGITAL GROUP PLC
('ZOO' or 'the Group')
Directorate Change
ZOO today announces that Andy Scrivener, Chief Operating Officer, has resigned
from the Board with effect from 3 October 2006. Following the strategic review
announced in February 2006 the Board decided to focus on the continuing
development of its unique video technology and will no longer acquire
intellectual property rights in order to develop consumer products.
Consequently, Andy is leaving to establish his own interactive DVD games
development business with the full support of the Group.
There are now a number of established companies in the US and Europe who use
ZOOtech's DVD-EXTRA STUDIO product to make interactive DVD titles. ZOO is
focused on providing market-leading professional products and services to
support these customers from which ZOOtech earns royalties and fees.
It is planned that 11 staff will transfer to Andy Scrivener's new business
together with some associated licences for a deferred consideration of £200,000
payable to ZOO in March 2008. This arrangement with Andy Scrivener constitutes a
related party transaction for the purpose of the AIM Rules by virtue of Andy
Scrivener being a director of ZOO within the past 12 months. The directors of
ZOO consider, having consulted with Noble & Company Limited, the Group's
nominated adviser, that the terms of the related party transaction are fair and
reasonable insofar as shareholders are concerned.
Stuart Green, CEO commented:
'The Board would like to thank Andy for his contribution to the business and for
his pioneering work to establish a viable and growing interactive DVD market in
the UK. We look forward to welcoming him as a new licensee and to working
closely with him in his new venture. ZOO now has a wide range of customers using
DVD-EXTRA STUDIO and our focus is on development of our unique video production
technologies where significant opportunities exist rather than development of
consumer products.'
