On
August
29, 2007, management of Altair Nanotechnologies Inc. (the “Company”) received a
copy of a letter from Christopher Jones, a director of the Company, announcing
his resignation from the Board of Directors of the Company effective September
30, 2007. Mr. Jones’ employer, Behr Process, Corp., is a competitor
of SherwinWilliams, an increasingly significant business parter of the Company,
and Mr. Jones determined that it would be in his best interest and that of
the
Company for him to resign before any conflicts arose. Management has
appreciated the contributions of Mr. Jones to the Company and wishes him
success
in the future.
The
Company has not identified a replacement for Mr. Jones but expects to appoint
a
successor as soon after September 30, 2007 as an appropriate successor has
been
identified.
