BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 02, 2017 -- Micron Technology, Inc., (NASDAQ:MU) today announced the upcoming retirement of its Chief Executive Officer, Mark Durcan. The Board of Directors has formed a special committee to oversee the succession process and has initiated a search, with the assistance of an executive search firm, to identify and vet candidates. The Board has not established a timeframe for this process and intends to conduct a deliberate review of candidates who can contribute to Micron’s future success. Mark Durcan will continue to lead Micron as CEO during this process and will assist the company with its search and subsequent leadership transition.

We expect Mark to play an instrumental role in securing and transitioning his replacement.”
