Two additional independent directors have been announced as members of the future Electronics Board:
Byron Green served as Vice President of Global Operations for L3Harris Technologies, a global aerospace and defense technology company from July 2019 to February 2025.
Dr. Shumeet Banerji is the founder of Condorcet, LP an advisory and investment firm focused on early and development stage technology companies and served as CEO of Booz & Company from 2008 to 2012.
The remaining independent directors will be named at a later date following an in-depth search process.

"The group we have assembled are bold innovators and fresh thinkers who will play a critical role in shaping our strategic direction and strengthening our position as a leader in the electronics industry. I look forward to their partnership and guidance as we leverage our leading-edge technologies and deep customer relationships to drive innovation in attractive high-growth markets."
