Company Details CFO Transition Plan

Genasys Inc. (NASDAQ: GNSS), the global leader in Protective Communications, today announced that Dennis Klahn will retire by the end of the Company’s current fiscal year after a 45-year career in accounting and finance. Mr. Klahn has served as the Company’s chief financial officer (CFO) since September 2017. He will continue as CFO until a successor is chosen and will help ensure a smooth and orderly transition. The Company’s Board of Directors has initiated a comprehensive search process with the support of an executive search firm.

Mr. Klahn began his career at Coopers & Lybrand in 1980, after receiving a B.A. in Accounting from St. Ambrose University and earning his CPA. He was appointed CFO by Genasys Inc. after having served as Controller or CFO at several publicly traded companies, including Teledyne RD Instruments (a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated), Overland Storage, Inc., and Anacomp, Inc.

Richard Danforth, Chief Executive Officer of Genasys Inc., stated, “Dennis has been an integral part of Genasys’ transition from a hardware systems supplier to the only global provider of unified Software-as-a-service (SaaS) and hardware Protective Communications solutions in the large and growing emergency warning and mass notification industries. During his time as CFO, he has been instrumental in facilitating and integrating four software company acquisitions, opening offices in Europe and the Middle East, growing our worldwide operations from 45 employees to more than 200, increasing SaaS sales the last three consecutive fiscal years, and expanding our sales into more than 100 countries.

“We appreciate Dennis’ willingness to continue serving in his role until a successor is selected and providing support during the transition period,” Mr. Danforth continued. “We will miss his business expertise, financial acumen, and professionalism. All of us at Genasys wish Dennis the very best as he embarks on his well-deserved retirement.”

Mr. Klahn commented, “It has been a privilege to work in accounting and finance throughout my career and an honor to serve as Genasys Inc.’s CFO for 8 years. I am proud to have contributed in building Genasys into a trusted source of Protective Communications solutions throughout the world. I want to extend my appreciation to Richard and the Board for their leadership and trust and look forward to supporting a smooth transition to my successor.”
