Mai 08, 2024 (11:20 CEST) – MGI - Media and Games Invest SE ("MGI" or the "Company", ISIN: SE0018538068; ticker M8G; Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market and Scale Segment Frankfurt Stock Exchange): The Nomination Committee - consisting of Anthony Gordon (representing a group of shareholders acting in concert), Hermann Dambach (Oaktree Capital Management), Dr. Gabriel Recnik (Bodhivas GmbH)  and Tobias M. Weitzel (Board of Directors) – announces a proposal to expand the Board of Directors of MGI to seven members, in order to further bolster its media expertise. Provided that the annual general meeting resolves to increase the maximum number of board members as set out in the articles of association, two new members are nominated to join the Board of Directors. Greg Coleman, a.o. former President of Huffington Post, BuzzFeed (currently member of the Board of Directors), and Criteo, who has a deep understanding of the media and especially the ad-tech space, and Peter Huijboom, a.o. former CEO Global Media at Dentsu, an expert in the advertiser and media agency landscape.
