Board Changes
LightwaveRF plc ("LightwaveRF" or the "Company"), the leading

changes.
Andrew Pearson has stepped down from the role of Chief Executive

career, serving as an engineer in the Royal Navy Submarine
Service.
Commenting on the board changes, Barry Gamble, Chairman,

"I would like to thank Andrew Pearson for the contribution he
has made and wish him well in his future career.
"We look forward to welcoming Jason Elliott who brings with him
a strong sales track record and a good understanding of the energy
and related markets, which the Company is seeking to address. His
experience in fast moving technology businesses and the smart home
market is highly relevant to LightwaveRF at this time.
"Kevin Edwards has a good commercial understanding of the
business and his appointment as acting CEO will ensure strong
interim leadership in the period before Jason assumes his new
