On August 28, 2015, our Chief Accounting Officer, Andy Tsui, provided notice of his resignation from Entertainment Gaming Asia Inc. effective as of September 30, 2015. Mr. Tsui indicated that he is resigning to pursue another career opportunity. Traci Mangini, our Senior Vice President Corporate Finance, has been appointed to serve as the interim Chief Financial Officer effective as of October 1, 2015. Mr. Tsui has agreed to continue to assist the Company on an as needed basis for a period following his departure to best ensure a seamless transition.

 

Ms. Mangini joined our company as senior vice president corporate finance in June 2008. From 2003 to 2008, Ms. Mangini had been a senior equity research analyst responsible for coverage of companies in the domestic and international gaming sector at ThinkEquity, a then subsidiary of Panmure Gordon & Co., a company listed on the AIM market operated by the London Stock Exchange. She was promoted to partner at ThinkEquity in 2008. Prior to joining ThinkEquity, Ms. Mangini served as a vice president equity research analyst for consumer companies at Merriman Curhan Ford & Company, a company then listed on the American Stock Exchange, from 2012 to 2013 and at First Security Van Kasper, a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ National Market which was acquired by Wells Fargo & Co in 2000, from 1997 to 2001. From 2001 to 2002, she served as an investment consultant and research analyst at Fisher Investments Inc. Ms. Mangini holds a master of science in quantitative analysis from Boston University and a bachelor of arts in business administration from the University of San Diego.

 

On September 1, 2015, we issued a press release announcing Mr. Tsui’s planned departure and Ms. Mangini’s appointment, a copy of which is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K.
