“We are very grateful for Mark's contributions as CFO,” Chatila commented. “Mark has provided solid financial leadership and helped us navigate through very challenging times in the global semiconductor and solar industries. We wish him continued success in his new role at Praxair. Moving forward, Brian's long tenure with MEMC and his substantial financial and operational background made him an obvious choice to succeed Mark as CFO.  Brian is ideally suited for this position and this will be a smooth transition of responsibilities.”
