It seems like a panic reaction to me. I don't see the logic of it, other than a rule-of-thumb red flag when a long-time director leaves. He has been with LTHU since 1999, and apparently is technically able. But such people move on from time to time.
See http://www.powerpulse.net/story.php?storyID=2564
for the February 24, 1999 announcement that Arif Maskatia joined the LTHU board of directors.
