The Company also announced a realignment of certain key management positions. Nachum Korman, Managing Director of NUR Europe, will become President of NUR America, and Marco Baio will be appointed Managing Director of NUR Europe. Prior to joining NUR Macroprinters, Mr. Baio served in senior management positions with Scitex, including: Managing Director of Scitex Italy and Managing Director of Scitex Germany. Most recently, Mr. Baio served as President of Objet Geometries Europe. As a result, the executive positions of Vice President of Sales, held by Alon Avnon, and Vice President of Marketing, held by Ron Michael, will be phased out.

Mr. Amir continued, The executive management realignment represents a strategic shift toward greater decentralization. Nachman Korman has been an outstanding Managing Director at NUR Europe and we believe he will provide strong leadership and direction to NUR America. Marco Baio, has gained proven experience in business development in his position as president of Objet Geometries Europe and we expect him to maintain and build on Nachman Kormans strong performance in Europe. We want to thank Alon Avnon and Ron Michael for their important contributions to NUR. They each played major roles in the Companys success and in its stabilization in the face of tough challenges.
