high-end products that resonate with passionate gamers.”

best means for us to target competitive and passionate gamers who demand the best.” said Darren
Richardson, the President and Chief Executive Officer of Mad Catz Interactive, Inc. “In addition to our
focus on creating new products, we also look forward to leveraging our expanded geographic footprint
and worldwide sales and marketing initiatives to bring added visibility to this one-of-a-kind product.”
