Meridian Holdings Appoints New CEO, CFO, and Independent Director

Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN), an international developer, licensor, and global operator of online gaming and e-commerce platforms, has announced a strategic leadership restructuring following a Board-led succession process. Zoran Milosevic, who has successfully led Meridianbet for more than 18 years, has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Meridian Holdings. William Scott, who served as Interim Chief Executive Officer since late 2025, will transition to Chief Financial Officer while continuing to serve as Chairman of the Board. Additionally, Michael Prescott has been appointed as an Independent Director, bringing extensive experience in the global gaming industry, including serving as General Counsel at GTECH and IGT. The changes align operating leadership, financial stewardship, and independent oversight with the Company's planned next phase of disciplined execution and international growth.

Milosevic's deep operational expertise, having overseen Meridianbet's development into the principal operating business and primary growth driver of the group, positions him to drive day-to-day execution. Scott, a South African Chartered Accountant with over 35 years of experience, will focus on financial reporting, capital allocation, and investor engagement. Prescott's appointment strengthens the Board's governance and audit oversight, with his background spanning public company securities, cross-border M&A, and international gaming regulation. The Board believes this new structure enhances executive accountability and strengthens corporate governance, positioning Meridian Holdings to execute its long-term strategic objectives.

Meridian Holdings operates across 20+ international regulated markets through its B2C division led by Meridianbet Group and its B2B division comprising Expanse Studios and GMAG. The Company's software automatically declines gaming or redemption requests originating in the United States, in strict compliance with U.S. law. These appointments follow the Company's second-quarter 2026 results and reflect its focus on disciplined execution, governance, and sustainable long-term growth.
