Ad hoc Release: Catalis SE announces changes to its management board:
Dominic Wheatley to become new CEO of Catalis SE

 
Eindhoven, May 1st, 2012 - Catalis SE, the worldwide service provider for
the digital media and entertainment industry, is pleased to announce
changes to its management board.
 
Catalis SE Board of Directors has unanimously decided to nominate to the
general meeting of shareholders as new CEO Mr. Dominic Wheatley. Until his
nomination is ratified by the general meeting of shareholders Mr. Wheatley
will act as authorized representative of the board. Dominic will take over
this role with immediately effect.

Dominic has already served as a non executive director since 2007 and has
recently served as executive chairman of Kuju, Catalis' game division since
2011. Dominic has a long standing experience in the game industry e.g. as
the CEO of Eidos, the publisher of 'Tomb Raider' and a strong track record
in running successful game companies.

 'I am looking forward to this new challenge and introducing the necessary
changes that I believe will put Catalis on the course to success. In both
Kuju and Testronics we have very fine companies with a great deal of talent
in the teams. I am pleased to be working with Peter Biewald who recently
joined as our CFO and Seth Hallen, the CEO of Testronic. It will be a very
busy few months ahead and I look forward to updating shareholders on
progress in due course.'

Also Seth Hallen, the CEO of Testronics, the testing division of Catalis,
is proposed to join the board of Catalis as a non executive director, an
appointment which reflects the importance and continued success of
Testronic and is designed to further improve synergies between the Catalis
divisions.

Catalis also announces that the Board of Directors has suspended Jeremy
Lewis from his position as executive director and CEO with immediate
effect.

All above mentioned changes will be subject to approval by the next
shareholder meeting which will be called in due course.
