CEXI0.19, +0.05, +35.7%) announced today that it is implementing its plan to centralize its administrative and corporate functions in Tucson, Arizona. The move is expected to begin in early 2007 and be concluded by the end of the first quarter. The move does not impact the Company's special shareholder meeting scheduled for January 9, 2007. Information regarding the transition will be posted on the Company's web site at CDEX-Inc.com.
"This move has been on our planning horizon for a number of years and we are pleased that we are able to implement it now," said Dr. BD Liaw, Chairman of the Board of Directors. "It will improve communications and increase the company's overall operational efficiency and effectiveness. Mr. Jim Griffin, the current President and CEO of CDEX, has indicated to the board that he will not relocate to Tucson as a matter of personal choice for him and his family. Mr. Griffin will step down as President and CEO effective December 28, 2006. The board wishes to express its thanks to Mr. Griffin for his leadership of the company and wishes him and his family the very best in their future endeavors," said Dr. Liaw.
Mr. Tim Shriver will act as the interim President and CEO until such time as a permanent President and CEO is recruited into the company. Mr. Malcolm Philips, past President and CEO, has agreed to become a special advisor in Tucson to the board and Mr. Shriver to assist with the transition and move.
"I was part of and fully support this decision by the board of directors," said Jim Griffin, President and CEO of CDEX Inc. "Consolidating the operations of the company in one location is in the best interests of CDEX. I will assist the Board and company during the upcoming transition period in any way possible."
"The technology upon which this company was founded had its roots in Tucson, Arizona, and I am pleased that we are now able to implement this move," said Tim Shriver, the new President and CEO. "We appreciate the foundation that Jim has laid for us and will be calling upon his help during this transition period."
