On January 19, 2012, Patricia Gruden, after returning from retirement to aid the company in successfully restructuring and rebuilding over the past year, in discussions with Drs. Ryan and Crabtree, requested to retire as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer.  

The Company officially accepted her resignation as of January 19, 2012. Effective on the same date, in order to assure a smooth transition and to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Gruden’s resignation, the Registrant appointed Robert F. Ryan, M.S., Ph.D., President and Chief Executive Officer, as the Company’s Interim Chief Financial Officer.  This change has no effect on the present ongoing activities of the company including, but not limited to, the acquisition of the assets of SG Austria, which are still moving forward successfully.

Ms. Gruden will continue to aid the Company in the capacity of Chairwoman of the Board of Directors and Dr. Ryan will retain the position of President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in addition to becoming Interim Chief Financial Officer.
