Fluid is also pleased to announce that Ben Gujral, the current Chief Financial Officer of Mood Media Group SA, which was recently acquired by Fluid, has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer of Fluid. Fluid is delighted that Robert Meier will remain as Chief Financial Officer of Somerset Entertainment Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fluid, the office held by Mr. Meier prior to Fluid's recent acquisition of Somerset last fall.
