Joachim Magin possesses comprehensive management expertise which he has gained while holding a variety of executive positions, such as managing director of ProSieben Digital Media GmbH and head of media for Tiscali Deutschland. As part of his brief at Tiscali, he had bundled and restructured the company's European games activities, successfully selling them as a package. The company and its previous CEO, Michele Pes, have agreed to underpin the structural changes within the 10TACLE Group by implementing the change to the Managing Board resolved yesterday. Michele Pes, one of the founders of 10TACLE STUDIOS AG, therefore tendered his resignation yesterday. He will, however, actively support the further restructuring of the company and assist the company in an advisory capacity during the transitional period. 10TACLE STUDIOS AG had already announced its plans for a comprehensive restructuring of the entire 10TACLE Group a few weeks ago. The goal is to organize the company in a more streamlined and focused manner, making it more transparent for market participants. To this end, 10TACLE STUDIOS AG's consistent positioning as a development and production company is being driven forward. In the future, the tasks of marketing and sales will be performed by publishing partners. As previously reported, the reversal of the acquisition of the Berlin-based publisher TGC – The Games Company was the most recent transaction implemented for this purpose. With regard to the reorganization of the 10TACLE Group, the new Managing Board will cooperate closely with a team of restructuring specialists. Joachim Magin, the newly appointed CEO of 10TACLE STUDIOS AG, said: 'I'm really excited about my new role and looking forward to bringing all my skills to the table to get the 10TACLE Group back on track. I trust that shareholders, business partners and staff alike will allow me to familiarize myself with the company first before I comment on specific issues and objectives. In any case, I am committed to communicating with all stakeholders, reliably and transparently and in close consultation with the Supervisory Board.' The Supervisory Board is pleased to have gained such a highly experienced manager for 10TACLE STUDIOS as Joachim Magin and is confident that the company's full potential will soon become evident. At the same time, the Supervisory Board expressly thanked the founder and previous CEO Michele Pes for all his work over past years.
