LodgeNet Interactive Corp. (LNET: Quote) said Wednesday that Rich Battista will depart as President, CEO and director of the company as of January 16.

The recapitalization also includes a five-year extension of the Company’s secured credit facility with its lenders.

Frank Elsenbast, the company’s CFO, and James Naro, the company’s General Counsel, have been appointed interim co-CEOs.

As co-CEOs, Elsenbast and Naro will oversee the completion of the previously announced deal through the court-supervised process.
