JASPER, Ind., Sept. 12, 2016 -- Kimball Electronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:KE), (the “Company”), today announced the resignation of Christopher B. Curtis from its Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective September 9, 2016.
Mr. Curtis was elected to the Board in November of 2014 after the completion of the spin-off of the Company from its former parent. On August 1, 2016, Mr. Curtis assumed the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Wencor Group, a company that engineers, sources, distributes, and repairs components for the aviation industry. Given the time commitment of his full-time executive responsibilities as Wencor Group’s CEO, Mr. Curtis has determined that he needs to limit his outside activities and that his resignation from the Board would be appropriate and in the best interests of the Company’s Share Owners.
“Speaking on behalf of our Board, we understand and support Chris’s difficult decision and are grateful to him for his many insightful contributions as we began our journey as an independent public company. We thank him for his dedicated service representing the Share Owners of the Company,” said Don Charron, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
The Company intends to immediately begin a search for Mr. Curtis’s successor.
