Campbell resigns as President and CEO

Halifax, Nova Scotia (July 18, 2005) – Dave Grace, Chairman of Nautel’s Board of Directors, announced the resignation of President and CEO, Scott Campbell last week. Campbell is leaving for personal reasons after four years with Nautel. Grace will act as interim CEO while a search for a permanent replacement is conducted.

Grace served as Nautel’s President and CEO for over 25 years and has chaired Nautel’s Board of Directors since retiring in 2003. He oversees all company financial and operational matters and will continue in this role during the interim period.

The Board has a robust succession planning process in place and will accelerate the search for its new President and CEO.

Nautel launched sixteen new products over the last 12 months including several new HD Radio and DRM transmission systems for digital radio broadcasting. Nautel has also been leading the way on cutting edge broadcast technologies such as digital adaptive pre-correction for IBOC operation.

“Nautel is in excellent shape with significant momentum due in large part to Campbell’s forceful leadership," said Grace. "We have a clear strategy that has us well positioned for future growth. Continuing his focus on execution is my top priority."
