Kronos® announces changes to Board of Directors

 

CHELMSFORD, Mass., Aug. 2, 2005 — Kronos® Incorporated (Nasdaq: KRON) announced today that D. Bradley McWilliams has retired from Kronos’ Board of Directors effective today. As a result of McWilliams’ retirement, the Board of Directors elected Bruce J. Ryan to succeed him, also effective today.

“We are grateful to Brad for his valuable contributions to Kronos during the last 12 years. His strategic thinking, legal and financial acumen, and support of our management team greatly benefited our company,” said Mark S.
