COMSovereign’s Board of Directors issued
the following statement, “We thank Dan and John for their work in creating COMSovereign and its compelling vision of an American-made
wireless technology company built on significant intellectual property, critical enabling technologies, and unique core capabilities.
The impacts of COVID, supply chain disruptions and chip shortages have created substantial challenges in achieving the Company’s
goals and creating shareholder value so we must refocus the business under new leadership so it can deliver on its potential. Through
the work of David Knight and our highly engaged Board of Directors, we are committed to moving the Company forward into a new phase, returning
the business to the basics of customer engagement, increasing revenues and profitability so it can deliver benefit to all COMSovereign
stakeholders.”
In connection with the management changes underway
within the Company, the Board has accepted the proposed recommendation for the establishment of a Transition team. This Transition team
will be working with management and under the direction of David Knight to refocus the business on its core strength in 4G and 5G wireless
connectivity solutions. The team continues to drastically reduce overhead costs and seeks to divest non-core assets while reshaping sales
efforts and making production improvements.
