Anterix Inc. (NASDAQ: ATEX), a leading provider of 900 MHz broadband solutions for modernized grid solutions, announced a significant change in its leadership today. Tom Kuhn, a veteran of the utility industry with over three decades of experience, has been appointed as the new Chairman of the Board of Directors, effective January 1, 2024. This appointment comes as Morgan O'Brien, who has served as Executive Chairman since 2020, retires after more than 12 years with the company.

Kuhn, who joined Anterix's Board in January 2024, brings a wealth of experience and expertise to the role. As the former President and CEO of the Edison Electric Institute (EEI), the trade association representing U.S. investor-owned electric utilities, Kuhn has a deep understanding of the utility industry and its regulatory landscape.

His leadership in securing and expanding the company's 900 MHz spectrum, as well as his strategic vision, has positioned Anterix as a key player in the modernized grid solutions market. O'Brien will continue to serve as an advisor to the company, ensuring a smooth transition and maintaining his valuable insights and experience.

Scott Lang, who has been an independent member of Anterix's Board since 2024, will assume the role of President and CEO, effective November 1, 2024. Lang brings a strong background in both the utility and technology industries, having served as the founding Chief Executive and President of Silver Spring Networks, a pioneering company in the utility smart grid sector. His experience and leadership will be crucial in driving Anterix's growth and innovation in the years to come.

The change in leadership at Anterix is expected to bring a renewed focus on the utility sector, as well as a continued commitment to innovation and growth. Kuhn's extensive industry knowledge and Lang's experience in both the utility and technology sectors will be invaluable in guiding Anterix's strategic direction and fostering stronger relationships with key stakeholders, including investors, utilities, and technology partners.

As Anterix looks to the future, the company is well-positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for modernized grid solutions. With a strong leadership team and a clear vision for growth, Anterix is poised to continue its success in the years to come.
