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."
