solutions for machine-to-machine (M2M) communications announced today
that Eric Melka has resigned from the Company's Board of Directors.
Eric Melka, Redline's CEO since January 2010, has been dealing with a
persistent back injury that forced him to take a medical leave of
absence as announced on August 8th, 2013 and subsequently to resign as
CEO as announced on October 11th, 2013. Mr. Melka indicated that he
felt it was in the best interest of the company and shareholders that

would like to be. As such, he will not be returning to Redline from
his leave of absence.
"It's impossible to express in a few short words how much Eric has done
for Redline, and we are saddened that his tenure as a Board Member and
CEO was shortened by his ongoing injury," stated Philippe de Gaspé
Beaubien, Redline's board chairman. "On behalf of the entire Board, I
want to express our appreciation of his contributions to Redline and
the Board. We wish him all the best in returning to full health."
The Board has stated their intention to fill the vacancy on the Board of
Directors created by Eric's departure.
