Insights

Apple iSports reports COO termination tied to U.S. relocation and a disputed $100,000 demand.

Apple iSports Group, Inc. discloses that it ended the employment of its Chief Operating Officer, Lee Seltzer, on December 31, 2025, in connection with shifting operations from Australia to the United States. This combines a leadership change with a geographic realignment of operations, which often reflects a strategic or cost-driven restructuring, though no specific rationale is detailed.

After termination, Mr. Seltzer demanded approximately $100,000, claimed under his employment agreement with the Australian subsidiary. The company indicates it is assessing the propriety of this demand, so there is no confirmed liability or outcome in the excerpt. From an investor perspective, the dollar amount appears modest and the strategic impact depends on how smoothly the operational move and leadership transition proceed, which will be clearer in subsequent company disclosures.
