Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On March 1, 2022, after review and approval by the Board of Directors, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Foresite Advisors, LLC, a company wholly-owned by Robert Dickey IV, pursuant to which Mr. Dickey will serve as the Company’s new Chief Financial Officer effective April 4, 2022.

 

Mr. Dickey has more than 25 years of experience of C-suite financial leadership for life science and medical device companies, both private and public, ranging from preclinical development to commercial operations and across a variety of disease areas and medical technologies. Earlier in his career, Mr. Dickey spent 18 years in investment banking, primarily at Lehman Brothers, with a background split between mergers and acquisitions and capital markets transactions. Mr. Dickey was a senior vice president of the Company from 2008 until 2013.

 

The initial term of the agreement is for one year and it can be renewed thereafter upon the mutual consent of the parties. The agreement can be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice if not for “Cause” (as defined in the agreement) or upon 30 days’ prior written notice if for Cause. Pursuant to the consulting agreement, Mr. Dickey will be compensated at $375 per hour.

 

There are no family relationships between Mr. Dickey and the Company’s directors, executive officers or persons nominated or charged by us to become directors or executive officers. There was no transaction during the last two years, or any proposed transactions, to which the Company was or is to be a party, in which Mr. Dickey had or is to have a direct or indirect material interest.

 

On March 1, 2022, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with Ellen Lintal, who will step down as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer on April 4, 2022. Pursuant to the agreement, Ms. Lintal will transition to serve as a consultant to the Company and will provide accounting and financial services as directed by the Company. The agreement terminates on December 31, 2022, unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties. The agreement can be terminated by either party upon 60 days’ prior written notice if not for “Cause” (as defined in the agreement) or upon 30 days’ prior written notice if for Cause. Ms. Lintal will assist Mr. Dickey in the transition.

 

On March 3, 2022, the Company issued a press release regarding Mr. Dickey’s appointment and Ms. Lintal’s new position with the Company. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
