Speedcast Announces Executive Management Changes

Keith Johnson Moves into Chief Operating Officer Role; Erwan Emilian
Joins Speedcast to Lead Enterprise & Emerging Markets Division

SYDNEY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Speedcast—Speedcast
International Limited (ASX: SDA), the world’s most trusted provider
of highly reliable, fully managed, remote communication and IT
solutions, today announced two changes to its executive management team.

Keith Johnson, currently EVP of Speedcast’s Energy Division, will take
over from David Kagan as chief operating officer, while also keeping his
existing Energy Division responsibilities. Kagan will be leaving
Speedcast in early December due to personal and family commitments, but
will remain as an advisor to the CEO on a limited-time basis.

Johnson joined Speedcast in 2014 after spending over 20 years at Harris
CapRock Communications, where he held numerous senior operational roles,
including heading global operations and business unit leadership roles.
As part of the transition, the information technology, digitalization,
supply chain, QHSE and facilities functions formerly under the COO will
move under a newly created CIO role, which is under recruitment. The
changes are effective December 1.

“Keith brings decades of operational experience to the COO role, which
will enable him to build upon the solid operational foundations that
David has developed during the integration of Harris CapRock. I am
delighted that Keith will take on more responsibilities following the
great job he has done building our energy business to be the clear
market leader, which included playing a key role in the integration of
Harris CapRock alongside David. I thank David for his contribution since
March of this year and I look forward to his continued input as an
advisor. I wish him all the best in his future endeavors,” said
Pierre-Jean Beylier, Speedcast CEO.

Erwan Emilian has joined Speedcast to lead the Enterprise & Emerging
Markets division. Emilian comes to Speedcast from IEC Telecom Group,
where he served for 10 years as CEO. Prior to this, Emilian held
executive positions at several high-tech startups and Fortune 500
companies. He replaces Andrew Burdall who left the company to pursue
another opportunity.

“I have known Erwan for many years and he will be a great asset to the
Speedcast management team. I also want to thank Andrew for his
contributions and wish him success in his next role,” Beylier said.
