Directorate Changes

Media Corporation Plc, the AIM quoted advertising network and online gaming group, announces that Jason Drummond has stepped down from the board of Media Corp as Executive Chairman to focus on his other business interests. Justin Drummond has been appointed Executive Chairman and will continue to take charge of the day to day operations of the business until such time as an appropriate replacement CEO has been appointed.

Commenting on the changes, Justin Drummond stated:

“On behalf of the Board of Media Corp I would like to take this opportunity to thank Jason for all his work and contributions over the years to the Company and wish him every continued success in his other ventures. For the avoidance of doubt, Jason’s departure from the Board has nothing to do with the spurious and baseless legal claim recently issued against the Company. As part of its restructuring, the Board has taken the decision to inject some new blood and ideas to the Company with the search for a new CEO to help build on the strong growth in Eyeconomy, the Purple Lounge platform and the other exciting prospects currently in hand such as our joint venture with the Hippodrome Casino.”

As a result of the departure of Stephen Pettman and Jason Drummond from the Board, resolutions 3 and 4 as proposed in the circular for the Company’s annual general meeting scheduled for today shall be withdrawn.
