Gaming supplier Ainsworth Game Technology announced on Monday that Ryan Comstock has been appointed Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately, following a six-month period serving as Acting CEO.
According to a filing with the Australian Securities Exchange, Comstock, who previously served as Chief Operating Officer since 2018, was selected after the Board reviewed his performance since taking on the acting role in October 2025.
The Board cited Comstock’s experience across all operational areas of the business, as well as initiatives undertaken during his tenure as Acting CEO, as key factors behind the appointment. The filing also noted that he had already obtained the necessary gaming regulatory licensing approvals through his previous positions.
Ryan Comstock will receive a base salary of US$625,000 per year and is expected to participate in the company’s 2026 Short-Term Incentive Plan, subject to financial performance targets and foreign exchange adjustments.
There will be no change to his existing long-term incentive arrangement of 400,000 cash-settled performance rights, which remain subject to service conditions and performance hurdles.
The appointment has no fixed term and remains subject to Board review. The employment agreement allows either party to terminate the contract with six months’ notice, while non-compete and non-solicitation provisions apply for up to six months following termination.
