Completes Organizational Changes, Announces Anti-Dilutive Event, Completes Formal Separation From All Entities; Public Shareholders Will Control Company Summary: IRI, Inc., which is in the final stages of a self-underwriting, has announced that Gary Cella, President and CEO, has resigned to become a marketing consultant for the company, and that Gayle Essary, the company's founder and chairman, will assume those positions on an interim basis.
