Board of Directors Action
In a Board action following the Special Meeting of Shareholders, Joseph A.Turek,
M-Wave's Chairman, proposed, and the Board unanimously approved, the promotion
of Jim Mayer, its Chief Financial and Administrative Officer, to the post of
Chief Executive Officer of the Company. Mr. Mayer and the Company have entered
into an Employment Agreement in this respect expiring on December 31, 2006.
Mr. Turek, who had been serving in that capacity, remains the Company's
President and assumes the role of Chief Operating Officer and continues as Board
Chairman. "As the founder and largest shareholder of the Company, I am
totally committed to our business plan, not only to revitalize, but to grow
M-Wave in an expeditious and strategic way. I feel it is imperative in pursuing
that goal that my close working partnership with Jim Mayer be solidified for a
meaningful period of time so his attentions are turned to channeling his hard
work and creative talents on external growth opportunities, while I continue my
focus on improving the quality and performance of our operations both from
within and without the Company," stated Joe Turek.
Jim Mayer added, "Joe and I work well together as my expertise compliments
his engineering acumen and detailed knowledge of the printed circuit board and
commercial electronics business. We intend to offer our shareholders what they
expect from a progressive and forward-looking senior management team. I do
appreciate the vote of confidence by our directors and Joe, and look forward to
the challenge of growing M-Wave in partnership with him."
In related action, Bob Duke, the Company's Director of Sales and Marketing, was
promoted to Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "Bob's long term
knowledge of our industry and its participants is significant, and his
un-wavering commitment to our restructuring placed him in a logical position to
serve as a fellow senior management team member," stated Joe Turek.
Jeff Figlewicz, M-Wave's Accounting and Finance Manager, was promoted to the
post of Corporate Controller and is the Company's principal accounting officer.
"I see great potential for Jeff as our newest management team member, the
diversity of his skills and focus on accounting detail will be a win-win as we
move forward," observed Jim Mayer.
