From 2008 to 2015, Mr. Medford served as a Senior Vice President of Sales at Impinj, a manufacturer of RFID integrated circuits, devices and software. Most recently, Mr. Medford served as Chief Sales Officer at Invengo International Pte Ltd., a leading provider of RFID technology and solutions, focused on growing the American and European markets, mainly in the retail segments. Mr. Medford currently provides consulting services to numerous high tech solution companies and investment firms, and serves as Chairman of LMC, Ltd, a UK based company providing solutions to the international rail and transportation industry.

 

Mr. Soluri, age 45, is a technology sales executive with expertise in global direct IT sales within the finance, manufacturing and retail industries and the Internet of Things field. From 1993 to 1995, Mr. Soluri served as the Sales Director of Ameriquest Technologies, a company digitizing existing processes. From 1995 to 1997, Mr. Soluri served as the Executive Sales Director of Siemens Data Communications, where he focused on smart switching technologies and intelligent data hub markets.

The Board has determined that each of Mr. Medford and Mr. Soluri are independent under Nasdaq Listing Rules. Mr. Medford was also appointed as the Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Soluri was appointed to serve as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

As a result of the appointment of Mr. Soluri as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee as abovementioned, the Company’s Audit Committee is now comprised of three Independent Directors, as defined in the Nasdaq Listing Rules, and the Company therefore regained compliance with Rule 5605(c)(2)(A) of the Nasdaq Listing Rules.
