The Board of Directors of Linair Technologies Ltd. announced that Mr. Tan Chee Meng William has given advance notice of his intention not to renew his service agreement when it expires on July 31, 2013. Mr. Tan cited the reason that with the near completion of the restructuring of the company, he would like to focus on outside opportunities. Consequently, the Board has identified a suitable replacement.

After some discussions between the Board and Mr. Tan, it was agreed that he will step down as group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director on January 7, 2013. In his place, the company has appointed Mr. Wong Kok Chye as group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director with effect from January 7, 2013. Mr. Wong Kok Chye is also currently the chief executive officer for the company's Environmental Products division where he is responsible for the operations, growth and profitability of the group's manufacturing and distribution businesses.
