SCi ANNOUNCES
EIDOS BOARD PROFILES
Copyright 2005 SCi Entertainment Press Release
[ June 1st 2005 ]
Further
to the announcement by Eidos plc on 18 May 2005
regarding the appointment of new directors, the
Company today confirms the following: "In
addition to directorships of Eidos plc, the names
of all publicly quoted companies of which they
are currently directors or have been directors
at any time in the five years prior to the date
of this document are as follows: Jane Cavanagh
SCi Entertainment Group plc, Bill Ennis SCi Entertainment
Group plc, Rob Murphy SCi Entertainment Group
plc. "
Jane
Cavanagh is a former director of Stainless Software
Limited ("Stainless"), a position she held as
representative of SCi Entertainment Group plc
("SCi") because SCi held a 25.1 per cent. shareholding
in Stainless. The shareholding was held as part
of a commercial relationship under which Stainless
developed products for SCi.
After
the commercial relationship between SCi and Stainless
ended, Stainless Software Limited was placed into
administrative receivership following the appointment
by VIS Interactive plc (under powers contained
in a fixed charge over the assets of Stainless
Software Limited dated 25 June 1998) of administrative
receivers on 14 September 1999. The receiver ceased
to act on 9 September 2002 following various payments
to VIS Interactive plc. The Company believes that
the overall shortfall (before shareholders) was
approximately GBP 280,000.
Jane
Cavanagh is a former director, as SCi's representative,
of PGL Realisations Limited (formerly Pivotal
Games Limited), a company in which SCi held a
10 per cent. shareholding. Jane Cavanagh resigned
as a director of PGL Realisations Limited in July
2003 following approximately three months in office
because, in view of the way in which the company
was managed by its majority shareholders, it was
not possible for her to determine whether the
company was a going concern.
Pivotal
Games Limited was placed into administrative receivership
on 5 September 2003 following the appointment
of an administrative receiver. The receiver ceased
to act on 23 September 2004. Further to the statement
of affairs dated 30 September 2003, the estimated
deficit to creditors was estimated at approximately
GBP 2.07 million.
