Exhibit 99.1
SatixFy Names David Ripstein as CEO to Lead
its Next Phase of Growth
- Co-Founder Yoav Leibovitch to remain as SatixFy’s Chairman and CFO
- Business combination with Endurance Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: EDNC)
on track to close in 2H 2022
New York, NY and Rehovot,
Israel – June 23, 2022 – SatixFy Communications Ltd. (“SatixFy”),
a developer of state-of-the-art satellite communication equipment and systems, today announced that it has appointed David Ripstein,
previously CEO of RADCOM (Nasdaq: RDCM) and GreenRoad Technologies, as its new CEO, effective June 27, 2022. Mr. Ripstein will succeed
Yoav Leibovitch, SatixFy’s Co-Founder, Chairman, Interim CEO and CFO, who will remain the company’s Chairman and CFO.
Mr. Ripstein is a communications industry leader with a track record
of success in executing bold scale-up and turnaround strategies. He has over 21 years of experience turning exciting new technologies
into saleable products, and then scaling up manufacturing of those new products to meet customer demand. As CEO of GreenRoad Technologies
(2017-2022), Mr. Ripstein led a successful turnaround by directing the development of industry-first digital telematics products and
a global sales approach. In parallel (2021-2022), he serves on the Board of Directors of Ceragon
Networks, a pioneer in wireless broadband. Prior to GreenRoad, Mr. Ripstein was President and CEO of RADCOM (2007-2016), a publicly
traded provider of network intelligence solutions for telecom operators transitioning to 5G, where he spearheaded the company’s
product redirection and global sales strategies. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
from the Technion Haifa Institute of Technology.
Mr. Ripstein will complement SatixFy’s already strong existing
executive team, which includes Mr. Leibovitch, President Simona Gat, and Chief Technology Officer Doron Rainish.
“We are excited to welcome David, a proven leader with a deep
understanding of the communications vertical and years of experience running a publicly-traded company, to lead SatixFy forward into
its next phase of growth,” said Mr. Leibovitch. “Building from SatixFy’s existing strong base, David will help us realize
the full potential of our technology, leveraging our momentum in the fast-growing Satcom space to build the value of our company for
our shareholders.”
“I am excited by the growth potential represented by SatixFy’s
step-ahead satellite communications technology, which exactly matches the needs of a broad variety of Satcom players,” commented
Mr. Ripstein. “With strong demand for wide, reliable bandwidth and global access, the world needs better performance out of satellite
communications - including higher speeds, more advanced payloads and wider coverage – and this requires SatixFy’s unique
technologies. To take advantage of the opportunity, we will use the cash injection from the business combination transaction to launch
an aggressive sales strategy, and expect to see this approach lead to strong revenue growth and profitability over time.”
On March 8, 2022, SatixFy announced that it had entered into a
definitive business combination agreement with Endurance Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ: EDNC), a publicly-traded special purpose
acquisition company (SPAC) formed by an affiliate of Antarctica Capital, an international private equity firm. Upon closing of the
transaction, SatixFy’s shares are expected to trade on the Nasdaq stock exchange under the ticker symbol
“SATX.”
