Exhibit 99.1



TURTLE BEACH CORPORATION ANNOUNCES PLANNED RETIREMENT OF CFO JOHN HANSON

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. – August 8, 2024 – Turtle Beach Corporation (Nasdaq: HEAR), a leading gaming headset and accessories brand, today announced that Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer John Hanson, has informed the Company of his intent to retire after an over 45-year career in leadership, operational, and strategic finance roles.  The Company has retained Korn Ferry, an executive recruiting firm, to assist in the search for his successor, and the search will include both external and internal candidates.  Mr. Hanson is expected to remain in his current role until a successor is appointed and to remain with Turtle Beach in an advisory capacity following the successor appointment to support continuity and a smooth transition.

“Throughout his impressive 12-year tenure at Turtle Beach, John played a pivotal role in propelling the Company from a gaming audio business to a global leader providing gamers high-performance accessories, including headsets,” stated Cris Keirn, Turtle Beach’s Chief Executive Officer. “As an invaluable resource and advisor during my transition into the CEO role, John has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership. The entire Turtle Beach team joins me in extending warm wishes to him and his family as he enters retirement.”

“During my tenure at Turtle Beach, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with exceptional colleagues on globally renowned brands, contributing significantly to the Company’s position as a leader in the industry,” said John Hanson, Turtle Beach’s Chief Financial Officer.  “Second quarter results with 59% year-over-year revenue growth and an upward revision to our Adjusted EBTIDA guidance demonstrate the Company’s strong position.  As we move forward, I am confident in our well-defined strategy for sustained growth and profitability, ensuring that Turtle Beach remains at the forefront of innovation and success.”
