"As part of the previously announced restructuring of its global publishing business, THQ made changes to its publishing operations in Europe. As a result of those changes, the company will now utilize Koch Media as its publishing distributor in Spain. In Italy, the company continues to utilize a distribution company, and a new agreement is in place with Koch Media for that region. These are not new actions, just updates on previous decisions and new agreements with specific territory distribution partners." - THQ statement

THQ sure uses that statement a lot lately. Any bad news is answered by THQ with the same explanation. These plans were detailed vaguely earlier and now we're putting them into motion.
