GDEV Aligns Leadership as Founder and CEO Andrey Fadeev Appointed Chairperson of the Board

February 13, 2025 – Limassol, Cyprus – GDEV Inc. (NASDAQ: GDEV), an international

gaming and entertainment company (“GDEV” or the “Company”), today announced the

appointment of Andrey Fadeev, GDEV's founder and CEO and a member of the Company’s

Board of Directors (the “Board”), as Chairperson of the Board, effective immediately. This

appointment represents a strategic evolution in the Company's leadership structure,

designed to strengthen the alignment between strategic oversight and operational execution.

As part of this planned transition, Natasha Braginsky Mounier, an independent non-

executive director and chairperson of the Board will step down from her position as

Independent Chairperson and depart from the Board. Ms. Braginsky Mounier will receive a

severance payment from the Company, compensating her for her services as Chairperson

and director of the Board for the term beginning with the last annual general meeting of the

Company’s shareholders.

 

The Board will maintain its independent majority, with three out of five directors continuing to

serve as independent members, continuing to adhere to best practices for corporate

governance and oversight of the Company's operations. Ms. Braginsky Mounier’s

membership positions on the GDEV Board’s Committees will, by resolution of the Board, be

reassigned among its current independent members: Tal Shoham, who is able to read and

understand fundamental financial statements in accordance with Nasdaq audit committee

requirements, will take her place on the Audit Committee, while Marie Holive will join the

Nomination and Compensation Committee.

 

"This is an exciting new chapter for GDEV as we continue to execute on our strategic vision

and drive growth across our portfolio of studios," said Andrey Fadeev, CEO, founder and

newly appointed Chairperson of GDEV. "By aligning Board leadership more closely with our

operational expertise, we are well-positioned to accelerate decision-making and capitalize on

market opportunities while maintaining the highest standards of corporate governance."

 

Mr. Fadeev continued: "On behalf of the Board of Directors and management team of

GDEV, I would like to express our deep appreciation to Ms. Braginsky Mounier for her

exemplary leadership and invaluable contributions during her tenure as Independent

Chairperson. Under her guidance, GDEV has significantly strengthened its corporate

governance framework, enhanced board effectiveness, and established robust oversight

practices that will continue to benefit the Company for years to come. Ms. Braginsky

Mounier's dedication to promoting transparency and accountability has helped create a

strong foundation for GDEV's next phase of growth."

 

The Company remains committed to maintaining open and transparent communication with

its stakeholders, as the Board continues to prioritize long-term, sustainable growth while

upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and oversight.
