SCi seals Eidos deal
Eidos board quits as SCi acquisition takes last steps toward its final resolution.
The long and winding road for Lara Croft has come to an end--the SCi acquisition of Eidos is now complete. As part of the deal, the Edios board has collectively resigned, replaced by interim management.
"On behalf of the SCi Board, I would like to thank the Eidos Board for their contribution over recent years and for their willingness to work with us to ensure a successful transition of the business," Jane Cavanagh, CEO of SCi, said in a statement. "We wish them well for the future."
Outgoing board members are David Adams, Stuart Cruickshank, Jonathan Kemp, John van Kuffeler, Ian Livingstone, Michael McGarvey, Victor Steel, and Allen Thomas. SCi execs Cavanagh, Bill Ennis, and Rob Murphy will make up a temporary board of directors.
