    BELTSVILLE, MD. Spherix Incorporated (NASDAQ/SPEX) today announced the resignation of Thomas W. Gantt from his position of CEO and President, and as a Member of the Board of Directors. Mr. Gantt had served as CEO and President for one year, following his four years on the Board. Mr. Gantt said he regretted leaving the Company, but "I think it is appropriate at this time in that I have come to believe the Company should decrease its future biotechnology efforts in favor of placing its main thrust on its information services business, particularly in developing a strong information technology position. However, I believe this is more than the Board is willing to consider at this time. This is an honest difference of opinion, and we part good friends. As a friend and shareholder, I wish the Company well."
