AGT confirms changes to its Board of Directors and the appointment of a new interim company secretary
Ainsworth Game Technology has confirmed the resignations of Danny Gladstone, independent non-executive Chair of AGT, and Mark Ludski, company secretary of AGT.
Each has notified the Board of their decision to resign from their roles at AGT. Gladstone will step down from the Board and Ludski will step down from his role as company secretary, effective immediately.
AGT said: “Gladstone and Ludski have each informed the Board that they have decided to step down in light of recent media reports regarding personal payments made to them over eight years ago. Gladstone and Ludski have decided it is in the best interests of AGT for them to resign so that AGT can move past these distracting complaints in order to focus on the execution of its strategic priorities.”
Other media outlets have detailed that AU$10m was paid to Gladstone and AU$5m to Ludski by company founder Len Ainsworth after he sold his majority stake to Novomatic in 2018.
Graeme Campbell has been appointed as the new Chair of the Board. Campbell brings over 30 years of specialised experience in corporate consultancy services focused on hotels and registered clubs. Having served as an independent non-executive Director since 2007, Campbell is intimately familiar with the Company’s strengths and opportunities. Campbell has also been appointed to AGT’s Regulatory and Compliance Committee (RCC), with independent non-executive Director Ms Heather
Scheibenstock is replacing Gladstone as chair of the RCC.
The appointment of Campbell as the Chair, aligns seamlessly with the recent appointment of non-executive Director, Ms Birgit Wimmer, in March 2026 — a move that further demonstrates the company’s commitment to fresh perspectives and strong governance. Together with Dr Haig Asenbauer, an international experienced attorney, who has served as non-executive Director since 2023, and Ms Scheibenstock, who joined as an independent non-executive Director in 2022 and brings over 30 years of leadership experience, the Board is well-positioned to drive the Company’s next phase of success. A process to appoint a further independent non-executive Director to the Board will commence immediately with any announcement about a future appointment to be made in compliance with AGT’s
continuous disclosure requirements.
The company has also announced today that Lynn Mah, AGT’s chief financial officer, has been appointed as interim company secretary and Andrew Kabega of BoardRoom has been appointed as interim joint company secretary, with effect immediately. Ms Mah has served as chief financial officer since January 2023, and has extensive experience across accounting, audit, taxation, treasury and investor relations. She is a key member of AGT’s executive leadership team and is well-positioned to undertake her additional responsibilities. Prior to her appointment as CFO in January 2023, Mah also served as AGT’s assistant company secretary, where she was supporting in company secretarial and corporate governance matters. Through this role, she developed a strong understanding of the ASX Corporate Governance Principles and Recommendations and the ASX Listing Rules. Mah holds a Graduate Diploma in Applied Corporate Governance from the Governance Institute of Australia and has been a Fellow of the Governance Institute since 2021.
Kabega has a depth of experience across ASX and ASIC compliance and has previously acted as company secretary for a number of ASX listed companies across a range of industries. For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 12.6, Kabega will also be the primary person responsible for communications between AGT and ASX. Mah will be working in close partnership with the chief executive officer Ryan Comstock. The expansion of her responsibilities reflects the Board’s full confidence in her leadership. With this renewed and well-rounded leadership structure, the company is repositioned — strengthened, united, and forward-looking — with a Board and executive team that brings the necessary experience, regulatory expertise, and fresh vision to seamlessly and successfully navigate the Company’s next phase of growth.
AGT said: “The Board wishes to acknowledge and express their appreciation to both Mr Gladstone and Mr Ludski for their leadership and significant contributions to AGT over many years with the company. Mr Gladstone has served AGT since 2007, first as chief executive officer and executive Director before moving from his role as chief executive officer and into the role as a non-executive Director and Chair of AGT in 2019. Mr Ludski commenced with AGT in 2000, including a period of approximately 22 years in the role as the chief financial officer of AGT.”
“The company advises that it has been made aware of a news article regarding an inquiry of AGT’s US
subsidiary (AGT US) by The Forest County Potawatomi Gaming Commission (the Commission). The inquiry relates to allegations made by Mr Kjerulf Ainsworth to the Commission. The company regularly works cooperatively and collaboratively with gaming regulators to respond to any questions in the ordinary course.”
“After careful evaluation of the responses and information provided by AGT US, the Commission found that AGT US had “fully complied with all requests” and that “the responses provided by AGT US were complete, timely, and sufficient to address all concerns outlined in the review”.
“The Commission renewed AGT US’s licence last week on 28 May 2026 and confirmed that AGT US’s licence remains in good standing and that “there is no adverse impact to the regulatory suitability of AGT US within this jurisdiction”. The company will provide any further updates if required in accordance with its continuous disclosure obligations.”
