Mr. Liping Mao, current Director, Vice President of China GrenTech and General Manager of wireless coverage business, has resigned due to personal reasons, but he will remain a member of the Board of Directors. This change is effective as of June 30, 2009.

Mr. Yingjie Gao, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We regret that Mr. Mao is leaving the Company, and I would like to thank him for his contributions over the past nine years. We are confident that Ms. Ying Liu, with over 10 years of sales and operational experience in wireless coverage business, is an ideal fit for the job. Ying has been working side by side with Liping and has played an instrumental role in building our wireless coverage sector leadership position since the Company's establishment. In her new position, she will be able to leverage the strong relationships that she has built with our key customers since joining GrenTech in 1999. Ying's expertise is particularly valuable to us, as meeting the delivery schedule and ensuring high quality output are currently the critical factors to meet rapidly growing customer demand, since sales growth momentum is exceeding our expectation for the second quarter as a result of the telecommunication operators' continued investment in network expansion."

Ms. Ying Liu said, "I am excited to get started in my new role. Like we mentioned in our first quarter results, the demand for wireless coverage product and services has remained strong since the completion of restructuring and the issuance of 3G licenses. As visibility into market demand begins to improve, we are confident that the initiatives that we have in place to capture the growing market opportunities will enhance our wireless coverage results."
