Appointment of David L. Lacey, MD as Director
David L. Lacey has been appointed to serve as a Class II director until our 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and until his successor has been duly elected and qualified, or until his earlier death, resignation or removal. The Board has affirmatively determined that Dr. Lacey is an independent director pursuant to the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards and those rules and regulations issued pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Dr. Lacey, age 67, is a biopharmaceutical consultant at David L. Lacey LLC, where he advises academic institutions, biotechnology companies and venture capital firms, a position he has held since July 2011. Dr. Lacey currently serves on the Board of Directors of Argenx, Atreca, Inbiomotion, Nurix and Unity Biotechnology, and additionally as a scientific advisor to a number of early-stage biotechnology companies. He obtained both his B.A. and M.D. from the University of Colorado and received his formal training in Anatomic Pathology at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. Dr. Lacey was selected to serve on our Board because of his experience both in leading drug discovery and as an advisor to companies in the healthcare industry.
As the term of the Class II directors will end at the 2020 Annual Meeting, the Board intends to reappoint Dr. Lacey as a Class II director immediately following the 2020 Annual Meeting.
