Directorate Change

Zoo Digital Group PLC 03 October 2006 3 October 2006 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.' - ends - Enquiries: Stuart Green Helen Thomas CEO, ZOO Digital Group plc Weber Shandwick Square Mile 0114 241 3700 020 7067 0700 Alasdair Robinson Noble & Company Limited 0131 225 9677 This information is provided by RNS The company news service from the London Stock Exchange BQBBXFBX
