         organization, where he held the position of Chief Financial Officer. He comes to Creo with extensive

         "Michael will play a lead role in the continued development of Creo as a world-leading Canadian
         technology company" said Amos Michelson "He brings a wealth of corporate and operational experience
         to our management team and will provide leadership in the development and implementation of the
         company's growth."

         Prior to working at Voyus, Mr. Graydon held various senior financial management roles for Ballard
         Power Systems (NASDAQ: BLDP; TSE: BLP) and Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada Inc. He holds a
         B.Sc. (Honours) from Queens University, an MBA from McMaster University and a Chartered
         Accountant designation.

         Concurrent with this appointment, Creo accepts the resignation of Tom Kordyback from the positions of
         Chief Financial Officer, VP Finance and Corporate Secretary. Mr. Kordyback who has been with Creo
         since July 1995 as Chief Financial Officer plans to change his role with Creo in order to spend more time
         with his family. As Director of Operations, Tom will focus on management of Creo's Vancouver
         operations as well as working with the finance team to transition Mr. Graydon into the role of Chief
         Financial Officer.

         "Deciding to leave the position of CFO at Creo was a difficult decision," said Mr. Kordyback ,"but
         personal considerations make this necessary. Creo is a great company with an exciting future. I have
         a great deal of confidence in Creo and am proud to be a part of the management team that built Creo into a
         world leader in solutions for the graphic arts industry. I am looking forward to a continued relationship
         with the company in my new role."

         "On behalf of the Board of Directors, we would like to welcome Michael to the positions of CFO, VP
         Finance, and Corporate Secretary. To have a proven leader with the quality and integrity Michael brings
         to this organization promises continued growth and success for Creo," said Raffi Amit, Co-Chair of the
         Board. "At this time, we would like to thank Tom for his enormous contribution to the growth of the
         company. He has been a key asset to the Creo management team over the past 5 years. We, on the Board,
         respect and support Tom's personal decision to adjust his position at Creo and look forward to Tom's
         continued contribution to Creo in the future."
