Executive Management
In light of the Company receiving notice from FINRA that it is now quoted on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board and of the allowance from the US Patent Office (“USPTO”) for U.S. Patent Application No. 13/323,030 (as more fully described below), Dr. Steven Victor, Chairman and CEO of Company, has initiated the plan to fortify the executive team to meet the challenges of building the best-of-breed regenerative medicine company and assuring that the Company make optimal use of the independent members of its Board of Directors. In addition to the previous appointments of experienced and independent public company directors, the Company has created three committees with approved charters: the Audit Committee chaired by Michael Hershman; the Compensation Committee chaired by Leonard Mazur; and, the Nominating and Governance Committee chaired by Myron Holubiak. Dr. Victor has asked the Nominating and Governance Committee to initiate a search for senior management with public company experience in the biotechnology field. Dr. Victor and the Board of Directors have also asked Mr. Mazur to serve as the interim Chief Operating Officer. Dr. Victor and Mr. Mazur will work with the Chairman of the Audit Committee to have all material financial decisions reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee. The Company expects to have all key management positions filled in the next 4 to 6 months.
