Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
Photonic Products Group, Inc. (PPGI, the “Company”) reported today that Daniel Lehrfeld, President and CEO, announced he has decided to step-down from the management team of the Company in late-December, on or about the December 16, 2008 expiration date of his employment agreement. Mr. Lehrfeld thanked the Board for having invited him to extend his service as CEO beyond that date but, after much thought, he decided not to accept the offer.

Mr. Lehrfeld explained that it was a difficult decision to come to, and that the continued success and development of the Company remains uppermost in his priorities, but that he believed this decision was an appropriate one for both the Company and him. He stated that he believed a change in dynamic from time to time is essential, and after nine years it was time to invest the leadership of the Company in the hands of an appropriate successor CEO, only the third in the Company’s 35 year history. Mr. Lehrfeld added that this change will, as well, enable him to pursue other interests next year, both business and personal.

The Board has initiated a process to select his successor. A search committee of the Board lead by its Chairman Dr. John Rich has begun to address this task.
