NTN BUZZTIME ANNOUNCES DARIO L. SANTANA TO
BECOME NEW CEO
Executive to Start July 10, 2005
CARLSBAD, Calif., June 12, 2006 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- NTN Buzztime, Inc.
(Amex: NTN), a leading developer and distributor of interactive entertainment
games and technology, today announced that Dario L. Santana will become its next
President and Chief Executive Officer, commencing July 10, 2006.
Mr. Santana was most recently President of Tyco Fire & Security - Latin America,
a services and technology company with annual revenues approaching $300M. Prior
to joining Tyco in October 2002, he was the President and COO of Aerocast, Inc.
a streaming media start-up, which delivered entertainment quality video to the
broadband enabled home. Mr. Santana was an executive with General Instrument/
Motorola Broadband from 1992 until 2000; his last role at Motorola was VP/GM
Advanced Network Systems. He holds a MBA from the Harvard Business School and
an engineering degree from Purdue University.
The announcement concludes a six-month board search for a successor, following
the December 20, 2005 announcement by CEO Stanley Kinsey that he would not
seek renewal of his employment contract in 2006, but would continue running
the company until a successor was found. Mr. Santana will commence his
responsibilities on July 10, 2006.
"Dario is a great fit for our company," said Kinsey. "His experience in growing
businesses and his knowledge of media distribution are exactly what we were
looking for in an executive. We are very excited to have Dario stepping into
this opportunity."
"Thanks to the efforts of Stan and his team, this company has the market
position, talent, technology and entertainment assets needed to succeed in this
exciting industry," said Santana. "I look forward to leading NTN Buzztime and,
together with its management team, driving this company to realize its full
potential in the coming years."
Additionally, Mr. Barry Bergsman, the current Lead Outside Director, will become
Chairman of the company on July 10, 2006. Mr. Kinsey will remain a member of
the board of directors. Mr. Santana will be introduced to shareholders at the
Company's annual meeting in Carlsbad, California on June 14, 2006.
