Endemol International Executive Steps Down

HILVERSUM, July 1: Mike Morley will leave his position as the
senior executive director of commercial and creative affairs at Endemol
International, a role he has held since 2005, in August.

Morley has worked for Endemol for seven years in different senior
management positions, including managing director of Endemol Poland, leading
Endemol’s global creative team and overseeing the group’s international format
sales, distribution and program acquisitions.

Morley said: “After a magnificent seven years at Endemol I've
decided I need a new challenge. It's a hard decision to make because for me I'm
not only leaving the finest international TV production in the world, I'm
leaving the best group of professionals you could ever hope to work with.”

Marco Bassetti, the COO of Endemol, said: “Mike has been
enormously influential in developing our commercial and creative business,
particularly in relation to brands like Deal or No Deal which he marketed into
more than 40 countries and most recently the phenomenally successful launch of
our new hit Wipeout which he has helped nurture.”
