Meridian Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: MRDN), an international developer and operator of online gaming and e-commerce platforms, announced today a series of executive and Board appointments aimed at positioning the company for its next phase of disciplined execution and global expansion. The changes follow a Board-led succession process and include Zoran Milosevic as Chief Executive Officer, William Scott transitioning from Interim CEO to Chief Financial Officer while retaining his role as Chairman, and Michael Prescott joining the Board as an Independent Director.
Zoran Milosevic, who has led Meridianbet for more than 18 years, will continue as CEO of Meridianbet while taking on the CEO role of the parent company. His leadership is expected to bring operational discipline from Meridianbet to the broader group. William Scott, a South African Chartered Accountant with over 35 years of experience, will focus on financial stewardship, capital allocation, and investor engagement. Michael Prescott, former General Counsel at GTECH and IGT, adds expertise in governance, regulatory compliance, and public company oversight.
The appointments follow the company's second-quarter 2026 results and reflect a focus on strengthening operational and financial foundations. William Scott stated: "This leadership structure change gives Zoran clear accountability for day-to-day execution while I focus on financial stewardship, capital allocation and Board leadership." Zoran Milosevic emphasized his priority to "build on that foundation, bring the same operating discipline that has driven Meridianbet's performance to the broader Company group, strengthen our position across regulated markets and create long-term value for shareholders."
These changes come as Meridian Holdings continues to operate across more than 20 international regulated markets, with its B2C division led by Meridianbet Group and B2B division including Expanse Studios and GMAG. The company's software automatically declines gaming or redemption requests originating in the United States, in compliance with U.S. law. For more information, visit www.meridian-holdings.com.
The Board believes the new structure enhances executive accountability and corporate governance, positioning the company to execute long-term strategic objectives. Additional information about risks and uncertainties is available in the company's filings with the SEC at www.sec.gov.
