Keywords Studios, the international technical and creative services provider
to the global video games industry, today announces that due to personal
circumstances, Sonia Lashand Sedler has left the Company, her position on the
Board, and her role as Chief Operating Officer, with immediate effect.

The Group has strong leadership in place following the appointment of Bertrand
Bodson in December 2021 who is well supported by the Group's Chief Financial
Officer, Jon Hauck, and an exceptional service line and regional leadership
team.

As previously announced, the Group will publish its full year results for the
year ended 31 December 2021 on 30 March 2022 when it will update on its
current trading and confidence in delivering on market expectations for the

Ross Graham, Chairman of Keywords Studios, commented:

"I would like to thank Sonia for her contribution to the Group over the past
year and to wish her well for the future."

"With a strong and energized leadership team in place, we are well placed to
continue to execute on our clear opportunities in the buoyant video games
market, as we capitalize on the Group's unique full service platform powered
by our incredibly talented team of Keywordians."

 

Sonia Sedler commented:

"It is with great regret that I am leaving my position as Chief Operating
Officer at Keywords Studios for personal reasons. I have really enjoyed my
position in such a strong organisation with so much potential and I will be
sad to leave.

"I'd like to thank my Keywords colleagues for their passion and commitment to
this incredible industry, and I'd like to thank the Board for their support.
It has been an honour to work for Keywords and with such great people."
