PARIS, 25 August 2008 – GlobeCast’s Chairman and CEO Christian Pinon has announced that the company is making a number of strategic management changes as it continues to build on its international growth.

Following her successful three-year transformation of GlobeCast America, CEO Mary Frost has moved on to pursue personal projects. Ms. Frost will remain on the board of GlobeCast America until January 2009 and will serve as a key advisor.

To ensure a smooth transition Christian Pinon will be acting as interim CEO for the American unit.

Serving first as GlobeCast America’s senior VP of sales and later as its CEO, Mary Frost was the driving force behind the business unit’s recent transformation and streamlining. Her most recent accomplishments include the upgrade of HD infrastructure on a nationwide basis and the opening of a shared facility for playout, origination and uplink, co-located with HBO Latin America in Sunrise, Florida.

The new CEO of GlobeCast America will be announced later in the year.

On a separate note, VP of Operations Philippe Fort has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer (COO) of GlobeCast France. Mr. Fort will be responsible for overseeing sales and operations.
