FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

**AstroNova Announces Executive Leadership Change** 

WEST WARWICK, R.I., June 30, 2025 — AstroNova, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALOT), a leading innovator in data visualization technology, announced today that Darius G. Nevin, a member of the AstroNova Board of Directors, has been appointed as Interim President and Chief Executive Officer, effective June 29, 2025. The Board will initiate a search for a successor to former President and Chief Executive Officer, Gregory A. Woods, who resigned from the role. The search will evaluate both internal and external candidates.

Richard S. Warzala, Lead Independent Director of AstroNova, stated, "These actions reflect an acceleration of our succession plans, and we are fortunate to have had Darius recently join the Board and to step into this interim role. In addition to his extensive public company executive experience, Darius has the talent, capabilities and time to devote to leading AstroNova while the Board conducts a search to identify and select his replacement. We expect that Darius can effectively address the situation the Company is tackling with the MTEX acquisition and the many changes the Company is implementing under new Product Identification segment leadership."

In addition to relinquishing his role as President and Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Woods also resigned from AstroNova's Board of Directors.

Mr. Nevin's experience includes having served for nine years as Chief Financial Officer at then publicly traded Protection One, Inc., one of the largest security monitoring companies in the United States. He was instrumental in orchestrating a comprehensive financial turnaround of the business that significantly enhanced operational efficiency and ultimately culminated in the successful sale of the company.

He is a director on the boards of Alarm.com (Nasdaq: ALRM), a global leader in internet-of-things security and automation solutions, and drug testing company Psychemedics Corporation, where he also serves as Chairman. Previously, he was on the Board of Directors of WCI Communities, Inc., a luxury homebuilder, from its initial public offering on the NYSE in 2013 until its sale in 2017.

Mr. Nevin received a bachelor's degree from Harvard University and an M.B.A. from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.

As a result of this material change to the Company's Board of Directors and management, the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders, which had been scheduled for July 9, 2025, has been postponed and will be rescheduled. The Company will announce the new date for the Annual Meeting as soon as practicable.
