PartyGaming Plc 
 
 
Directorate Change 
 
 
The Board of PartyGaming Plc has been given notice by John O'Malia, Group 
Managing Director, of his intention to leave the Company in order to pursue 
other business interests. Mr O'Malia will remain with the Group until the end of 
February 2009 when he will step down from the Board and his duties as Managing 
Director will be assumed by Jim Ryan, Group Chief Executive. 
 
 
John O'Malia was Chief Executive of Gamebookers, until it was acquired by 
PartyGaming in August 2006. Having agreed to remain with the Group following the 
integration of Gamebookers, he became a member of the senior management team and 
was appointed to the Board of PartyGaming in May 2008. 
 
 
Commenting on today's announcement, Jim Ryan, Group Chief Executive Officer 
said: 
 
 
"Over the past two and a half years, John has made a significant contribution to 
the transformation and leadership of the Group. In particular, his vision and 
dedication were fundamental to the successful launch of the next generation of 
our signature PartyPoker.com product in September 2008. John is a natural leader 
and is keen to fulfil his potential in a more senior management role that will 
play to his considerable industry and management experience. Whilst saddened by 
his decision to leave the Group, we wish him every success for the future." 
 
 
John O'Malia, Group Managing Director, commented: 
 
 
"My time at PartyGaming has been extraordinary.  We have made enormous strides 
in repositioning the Group's gaming portfolio, something that I was determined 
to achieve before moving on. I am enormously proud of the progress we have made 
and the fact that many of the Group's games are now once again recognised as 
being best in class. Whilst I shall certainly miss the excitement of working for 
the world's leading listed online gaming company, I am looking forward to taking 
on fresh business challenges."
