Changes in Bittium Corporation’s organizational structure and management group

The Board of Directors of Bittium Corporation has decided on changes in the
company’s organizational structure and management group to support the company’s
updated strategy that was announced today. According to its strategy Bittium’s
business will focus on three product and service areas: Defense & Security,
Connectivity and Medical Technologies.

Defense & Security product and service area combines the company’s previous
Defense product and service area (products and solutions targeted for the
defense markets) and Special Devices product and service area (R&D services,
products and solutions for special terminal markets). With the synergy from this
combination, Bittium is able to better serve its customers in the defense and
security technology markets. Mr. Jari Sankala (M.Sc. Electrical Engineering,
Digital Communications) has been appointed as Senior Vice President, Defense &
Security product and service area. Mr. Sankala has been working at Bittium since
2011 and transfers to his new position from the head of sales. In Bittium’s new
organizational structure, the sales operations are managed by the product and
service areas.

In the Connectivity product and service area Bittium offers R&D services and
customized solutions for the wireless communications market as well as for other
companies needing wireless connectivity in their devices. Mr. Klaus Mäntysaari
(M.Sc.) continues as Vice President, Connectivity product and service area. He
has been working at Bittium since 2004.

According to its updated strategy, Bittium builds a new Medical Technologies
product and service area. Mr. Arto Pietilä M.Sc.(Applied Electronics) has been
appointed as Senior Vice President, Medical Technologies product and service
area. Mr. Pietilä has been working at Bittium since 2001, among others as head
of operations, head of Contract R&D business and as head of Wireless Solutions
business. Prior to Bittium, Mr. Pietilä acted as the managing director of Polar
Electro Oy.

Mr. Sami Kotkajuuri, head of business development, has decided to move on to new
challenges outside of Bittium and has resigned from the company’s service. Mr.
Kotkajuuri continues his duties until the end of the year 2016. Bittium takes
this opportunity to thank Mr. Kotkajuuri for his contribution in the development
of the company.

As of December 1, 2016 Bittium management group consists of following persons:
Mr. Hannu Huttunen, CEO (chairman); Mr. Pekka Kunnari, CFO; Mr. Kari Jokela,
