ACT Aurora Control Technologies Corp. (TSX VENTURE:ACU) ("Aurora" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Greg Ayres as Chief
Operating Officer effective May 19, 2014. Mr. Ayres joins the leadership team
with the responsibility of delivering a winning business pursuit strategy,
developing enterprise supply agreements for Aurora's products and services and
refining our marketing and customer-facing messaging. 


Mr. Ayres has a proven record of developing business objectives, directing
business and sales strategy and leading organizations to achieve growth and
increased profitability. He spent 15 years with Measurex in various roles,
culminating in leading a 300 employee team as Vice President, North America
Sales & Service. When Honeywell bought Measurex, Mr. Ayres was appointed VP &
General Manager of Honeywell's Paper Business and led the $600M operation to
double-digit profitability. For the last ten years, Mr. Ayres has been Chief
Operating Officer of Yes Video, a digital imaging company, where he has led the
global commercialization and distribution efforts and has delivered consistent
sales and earnings growth.


"I am thrilled to have Greg join the Aurora Team," said Michael Heaven,
Executive Chairman. "He brings front-line experience in the Measurex
results-selling approach to the photovoltaic industry and a proven record of
closing significant business including major supply and distribution agreements.
He joins Aurora at the point where we are seeing a significant increase in the
photovoltaic industry's capital spending and growing sales opportunities for our
industry-leading measurement and control solutions."


"There is a very bright future for solar power generation in almost every
geography. The manufacturing of photovoltaic cells is in it's infancy in terms
of deploying automation technology to measure and control the production lines.
Aurora Control Technologies is perfectly positioned with the technology that
enables the photovoltaic manufacturers to meet this demand by significantly
improving line efficiency, tightening control at key manufacturing steps, and
ultimately producing higher quality product," said Greg Ayres. "I see my
experience with Honeywell, Measurex and Yes Video as a perfect fit for Aurora
Control Technologies and look forward to driving value creation for our
customers, employees and investors." 


The Board of Directors has granted an additional 450,000 incentive stock options
to directors, officers and employees for their contributions to the company and
75,000 incentive options to SECTORSPEAK Inc. for investor relations services.
The exercise price of the options is set at $0.40 and they will expire in five
years. The stock options are subject to regulatory approval.
