Fujitsu Names Keith Horn Chief Operating Officer for its U.S. Semiconductor Operation

Sunnyvale, CA, August 31, 2006 — Fujitsu Microelectronics America, Inc. (FMA) today named Keith Horn to be its Chief Operating Officer (COO). Horn, who is currently serving as senior vice president of sales and marketing, will be promoted to COO effective September 1, reporting to Kazuyuki Kawauchi, President and CEO of Fujitsu Microelectronics America.

Under Kawauchi’s leadership, Horn will manage the day-to-day operations of FMA. He has already been responsible for FMA’s four business groups, as well as marketing communications and engineering. In his new role, the four vice presidents heading operations, IT, human resources, accounting, finance, and legal will also report to him.

“Keith’s leadership and service to FMA have been invaluable, and the company will benefit from his experience and sales-driven expertise as he assumes his new role as COO,” Kawauchi said. “His major responsibilities will focus on FMA’s revenue and profit goals, and he will continue to help formulate current and mid- to long-range plans, objectives and policies.”

Horn has been employed by Fujitsu in various positions for almost 14 years. He began his career in sales at Fujitsu Microelectronics in Maidenhead, England, and then moved to the marketing group in the company's European headquarters in Frankfurt, Germany.

From 1996 until mid-1998 he was European marketing manager for Atmel Corporation. In May 1998, he returned to Fujitsu Microelectronics in the U.S. as marketing director for memory products, and became director of marketing of the System Solutions Group in 1999.

In July 2001, he became vice president of marketing and, in December 2004, became senior vice president of marketing and sales with full responsibility for all FMA products and services, including packaging and foundry services. Horn holds a bachelor of science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Liverpool, United Kingdom.
