in the development of advanced nanoengineered products, today announced the appointment of Glenn Judd to vice president of operations. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In his
previous role as assistant vice president of operations and engineering, Judd was instrumental in implementing key operational changes as the company shifted its business strategy to adopt more of a direct sales focus. Judd kept the team positively
focused as the operations group went through a major restructuring in the first quarter of this year, which streamlined activities and eliminated redundant job positions. Utilizing resources more effectively and efficiently, he skillfully
transitioned the group into a leaner operating unit. Judd joined Nanophase in 2000 after spending eight years with Eastman Kodak. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;Glenn

instrumental in strengthening our gross margins during 2009, with positive expectations heading into 2010. This represents another example of how our new management team, working as a cohesive unit, is positioning our company for sustainable growth
in 2010. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><U>About Nanophase Technologies </U></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
