Exhibit 99.1
Enovix
Announces CEO Transition and Search
Board Appoints CFO Ryan Benton as Interim CEO
and
T.J. Rodgers as Executive Chairman
FREMONT, Calif., Aug. 17, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE)
-- Enovix Corporation (“Enovix” or the “Company,” Nasdaq: ENVX), a developer and manufacturer of advanced lithium-ion
batteries, today announced that Raj Talluri has resigned his position as CEO and director of the Company, effective August 13, 2026, to
pursue another opportunity. The Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) accepted his resignation the next day and appointed
its chairman and largest shareholder, T.J. Rodgers, to the role of executive chairman, effective immediately. The Board has also appointed
Ryan Benton, the Company’s CFO, to serve as interim CEO, while it conducts a thorough CEO search to evaluate both external and internal
candidates.
Executive Chairman T.J. Rodgers
said, “This is a CEO transition, not a strategy transition. Our customer programs and the teams responsible for their execution
remain unchanged. The Company also reaffirms its Q3’26 financial guidance and reiterates the news of the breakthrough technical
progress on cycle life reported in our August 12 Q2’26 investor call.”
Enovix will host a live video webcast to update
investors and analysts at 4:00pm ET on Monday, August 17, during which Rodgers, Interim CEO Ryan Benton, Chief Operating Officer Michael
Vyvoda, Chief Business Officer Samira Naraghi, R&D SVP Jon Doan, VP of Operations Ed Casey and SVP of Global Manufacturing Kihong
“KH” Park will discuss our technology, the CEO transition and take questions. Register here for the webcast or by visiting
the Events page: https://ir.enovix.com/news-events/investor-calendar.
Rodgers said, “My recent one-on-one meetings
with executive staff members reminded me of the strength of the Enovix staff. Consider Interim CEO Ryan Benton. In his fifth year at the
Silicon Valley semiconductor company, Exar, Ryan was promoted to CEO under circumstances similar to ours, and went on to make significant
operational improvements that drove the stock price from $5 to $13, after which he ran the process to sell Exar with a capital gain for
investors.
Rodgers continued, “Our COO, Michael Vyvoda,
who ran product operations for multiple Apple programs for five years, will assume end-to-end ownership of manufacturing, supply chain
and equipment engineering in both our Malaysian and Korean manufacturing facilities. In addition, our 80-person R&D group will move
under Vyvoda, a Berkeley PhD in Chemical Engineering, so he can drive faster R&D product transfers to manufacturing.
“And finally, Samira Naraghi,
our Chief Business Officer, is a 22-year semiconductor and technology veteran of Qualcomm, Rambus, and IDT, who later led partnership
efforts at Meta and go-to-market efforts at Amazon Web Services. She helped Enovix define and launch our first smartphone-grade battery,
by using our customers to guide product definitions.”
Benton commented, “I’ve worked on driving
Enovix progress to plan since the day I joined, and I intend to keep this organization focused on our fundamental priorities: 1) driving
our smartphone programs through final qualification, 2) scaling AI-1 smart eyewear battery production, and 3) building out the MX-1 platform
for our rapidly growing defense and drone revenue, which was 65% of Q2’26 revenue. I’ve been in this situation before –
and we will remain focused on execution.”
Naraghi commented, “The
eyewear and defense products are our first production products, and they are ramping now. Our drone and other defense businesses are growing
rapidly, and we are building capacity in our Korean facility to stay ahead of that demand.”
Rodgers concluded, “I hope the CEO transition
does not distract investors from our Q2’26 event of the decade – that we have successfully demonstrated 1,000-cycle life on
our AI-class smartphone batteries. When I joined the Enovix Board 14 years ago, our batteries struggled to achieve just 10 charging cycles,
as I described in the Q1’26 shareholder letter. No other manufacturer of silicon-anode Li-ion smartphone batteries has achieved
more than 32% silicon anode content, while we are now shipping 100% silicon anodes that work for 1,000 cycles.”
About Enovix
Enovix develops and manufactures advanced lithium-ion
batteries, including proprietary silicon-anode architectures for smartphones, smart eyewear, defense, industrial and emerging edge-AI
applications. Its proprietary silicon-anode battery architecture enables higher energy density and performance in space-constrained devices
while maintaining safety and reliability, supporting commercialization across consumer and industrial markets.
