Talenthouse AG: Initiation of a broader corporate restructuring
Baar (pta044/21.03.2023/23:15 UTC+1)
Talenthouse initiates a broader corporate restructuring while strengthening its "Creator Services and Licensing Offering" platforms.
The board of Talenthouse AG ("Talenthouse" or the "Company") consulted on the progress of the initiated strategic review announced on February 28th, 2023, and decided in a further board meeting on March 21st, 2023, to initiate a broader corporate restructuring while strengthening and retaining its "Creator Services and Licensing Offering" platforms.
The strategic review revealed in some Talenthouse subsidiaries substantial outstanding liabilities, including salary, tax, and social security, in amounts these subsidiaries cannot cover. This concerns the following entities:
- EyeEm Group GmbH and subsidiaries,
- Talenthouse Ltd,
- TLNT Group LLC,
- Zoopa.com Inc and subsidiaries, and
- Jovoto GmbH and subsidiaries.
The Company has decided to fund these entities no longer.
Talenthouse did align on this decision with its new investors and expects receipt of the new money from the progressing fundraising round to begin in the coming days and, therefore, to have the means to retain those parts of the Company that operate sustainably (such as the Coolabi business), to invest in its "Creator Services" propositions and to reorganise the support of its creator platform, potentially in co-operation with a dedicated partner.
Also today, Clare McKeeve and Scott Lanphere resigned as members of the board with immediate effect, after the departure from the executive management announced on 28 February 2023. At the next general meeting, the Board will – as already announced – propose changes to the board, including voting on new, experienced board members.
Roman Scharf, Talenthouse's chairman: "Today's difficult decisions were required to preserve and strengthen our key business lines while carefully allocating the committed funds from the fundraising round. In addition, I would like to thank Clare and Scott again for their great contributions to the Talenthouse group."
