Centerplate Announces Leadership Change

Chris Verros Named Acting President and CEO Following Resignation of
Desmond Hague

STAMFORD, CT September 2, 2014 Centerplates board of directors
announced today that Chris Verros has been appointed to the role of acting
president and chief executive officer, effective immediately, following the
resignation of Desmond Hague from the company. The decision comes as a
result of Hagues personal misconduct involving the mistreatment of an animal in
his care.

We want to reiterate that we do not condone nor would we ever overlook the
abuse of animals, said Joe ODonnell, chairman of the board of directors for
Centerplate. Following an extended review of the incident involving Mr. Hague,
Id like to apologize for the distress that this situation has caused to so many; but
also thank our employees, clients and guests who expressed their feelings about
this incident. Their voices helped us to frame our deliberations during this very
unusual and unfortunate set of circumstances.

Chris Verros assumes the new role with more than 35 years of experience and a
reputation as one of the industrys most respected leaders. Chief Operating
Officer for Centerplate since 2010, he helped the company to achieve
unprecedented growth. Prior to joining Centerplate, Verros was Executive Vice
President of Boston Culinary Group and previously served as a Group President
of Fine Host Corporation, following the 1993 acquisition of FanFare, Inc., a
company he co-founded in 1986.

I have been proud to work with Chris for more than 20 years, and feel that
Centerplate is incredibly fortunate to have such a strong leader who can step into
the role immediately, ODonnell added, This past week has been very difficult
for our company, our employees and our clients in particular, and I have no doubt
that Chris experience, vision, integrity, and commitment to our values and
mission will help us all move forward together.
