Directorate Change

Transense Technologies PLC 23 May 2003 Date: 23 May 2003 On behalf of: Transense Technologies plc Embargoed until: 1200hrs Transense Technologies plc Board Change Transense Technologies plc ('Transense' or the 'Company'), developer and licensor of wireless sensor technology for the automotive industry, announces that Sir Dominic Cadbury is stepping down as Chairman of the Company following today's AGM. Peter Woods OBE, who has been a non executive director of Transense for two and a half years, will become the new non-executive Chairman of Transense with immediate effect. This morning Sir Dominic said: 'When I was invited to join the Board as Chairman in November 2000 I pointed out that I would do so with the proviso that I intended to wind down my public commitments over the next few years. I have enjoyed chairing Transense and leave with the belief that its strong committed management team will take the Company's technology from strength to strength. I have no hesitation in backing the Board in its choice of Peter Woods as my successor. Peter and I joined Transense at the same time in 2000 and have worked closely together helping the Company in this exciting stage of its development and I wish him and the rest of the Board all my best wishes for the future.' James Perry, Chief Executive, said: 'I would like to thank Sir Dominic for all his invaluable input since joining the Board in November 2000. When he retired from Cadbury Schweppes as Chairman it was his intention to reduce his corporate responsibilities and we appreciate that he agreed to join us at a time when his wide experience of corporate matters was most needed and I, along with my colleagues on the Board of Transense, wish him well in his move towards retirement. Peter Woods joined Transense following a successful career leading up to being chairman of Rover Japan and a senior investment advisor to the DTI and Foreign Office. He has a wide knowledge of the automotive industry and has proved himself a valuable member of the Transense Board since joining us in November 2000. I am very pleased that Peter has agreed to take the chair and it backs up my view that the quality of our management structure is such that we have been able to satisfy, from within, this position.'
