Frontiers is at the beginning of what we expect will be a long and
sustained period of growth of SPD-Smart products for the aircraft,
automotive, marine and architectural markets. Our Board of
Directors has concluded that we need to build upon our existing
capabilities by adding additional talented individuals to help us
rapidly achieve the potential we see for the SPD light-control
industry. Phil and Richard are creative thinkers and have valuable
experience and contacts in industries that can utilize our technology.
We expect them to make an important contribution to our future.
Both of these new directors bring with them a new perspective,
strong business backgrounds and experience on serving on public
Boards of Directors. They have demonstrated impressive results in
building shareholder value and creating strategic global growth in
new and pioneering industries. We welcome them both to the
Research Frontiers family."
