GAN has announced that Interim CEO Seamus McGill will officially step into the role of permanent CEO. His duties will involve a continued focus on closing the company’s deal with Sega Sammy Creation.
As CEO, McGill will also remain a part of the company’s Board of Directors.
Chairman of the Board David Goldberg commented on McGill’s appointment and said that he has the board’s full support.
“Seamus has the full backing of the Board of Directors and we are confident that his experience and leadership make him the most qualified candidate to be GAN’s next CEO.
“Seamus has been with the Company since 2014 and has a deep understanding of GAN’s products, customers, and strategy. On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, I’d like to congratulate Seamus on his appointment, and we look forward to his success.”
Company shareholders recently said yes to a previously announced merger involving GAN and Sega Sammy Holdings affiliate, Sega Sammy Creation.
More than 95% of current GAN shareholders voted in favor of the agreement.
GAN said it expects to close the merger toward the end of this year or by early 2025 at the latest. The pending transaction is subject to meeting certain closing conditions that include “the approval of the merger and change in control of GAN by certain gaming authorities.”
McGill said he is excited to fulfill this role and took a moment to thank the company’s key leaders.
He said, “It’s an honor to be named GAN’s CEO and I’d like to thank David and the board for their vote of confidence.
“Going forward, our focus remains unchanged. We remain committed to a timely closing of our transaction with Sega Sammy to maximize value for all of our stakeholders.”
