Engine Gaming and Media Announces the Appointment of Stu Porter to the Board of Directors

Engine Gaming and Media, Inc. ("Engine" or the "Company"; NASDAQ: GAME; TSX-V: GAME), an esports/sports social gaming, influencer marketing, and next-generation media solutions company, today announced the appointment of highly respected private equity fund manager Stuart “Stu” Porter to its Board of Directors, effective January 17th.

"We are excited to have Stu join Engine’s board as an independent director," said Tom Rogers, Engine's Executive Chairman. “Stu is one of Engine's largest investors who brings more than three decades of experience as a highly successful investor who will provide very valuable perspective for the Engine board. I have found Stu's insights to be extremely helpful as we continue to navigate the public markets, and look forward to relying on his service as we continue to grow Engine's various businesses."

Lori Conkling is resigning as a director due to expanded responsibility at YouTube that presents a potential conflict of interest in terms of the areas she oversees. Conkling stated, “While my time on the Board was short in tenure, I remain a long-term champion of the company.”
