Richard Wu, who replaces Shu Lihui on the Board, is already well known to Dynex. Richard is currently General Manager of the Power Electronics Business Unit of CSR Times Electric and so brings valuable experience of managing another power semiconductor business to the Board.

Peter Tan also joined the Board of Dynex in October 2008 and for the last three and a half years has held the position of Sales and Marketing Director of Dynex Semiconductor Ltd based in Lincoln, England. Peter is returning to China to undertake a new role within CSR Times Electric. George Guo, who replaces Peter Tan, is currently Vice General Manager of the Power Electronics Business Unit of CSR Times Electric, is also well known to Dynex. In addition to joining the Board, George will be moving to Lincoln to take over from Peter Tan as the new Sales and Marketing Director of Dynex Semiconductor Ltd.

Li Donglin, General Manager of CSR Times Electric and Chairman of Dynex thanked Shu Lihui and Peter Tan for their valuable contributions to the Dynex Board and especially the roles both have played in ensuring the smooth integration of Dynex into the CSR Times Electric group.
