Embracer Group AB (“Embracer”) announces that as part of the preparations for the separation of Coffee Stain Group AB (“CSG”), Anton Westbergh is no longer part of the executive management team of Embracer. A Board of Directors for CSG, the parent company and the future listed entity, has also been appointed and formed. The Board comprises Jacob Jonmyren (Chair of the Board), Sara Börsvik, Henrik Tjärnström, Kicki Wallje-Lund, Anton Westbergh (CEO and board member) and Lars Wingefors.
“Coffee Stain Group has thrived as part of the Embracer Group, with successful titles such as Deep Rock Galactic, Goat Simulator, Satisfactory, Teardown, Valheim and Welcome to Bloxburg. We now take the next step and prepare to stand on our own. We are pleased to have strengthened the board of directors with Sara Börsvik, Henrik Tjärnström and Kicki Wallje-Lund. The board looks forward to supporting Anton Westbergh as CEO in delivering fun and innovative gaming experiences that resonate with engaged communities worldwide”, says Jacob Jonmyren, Chair of the Board of CSG.
Anton Westbergh’s departure from Embracer’s executive management team is part of the preparation process of CSG becoming a stand-alone listed entity.
A board of directors for CSG, the parent company and the future listed entity, has also been appointed and formed. This represents an important step in strengthening the company's governance for the long term as CSG progresses towards becoming a standalone publicly listed entity on Nasdaq First North Premier Growth Market in Stockholm. The Board of Directors consists of:
