Immune Therapeutics, Inc. Announces Management Change; Moves Forward with Repositioning Strategy and Long-acting TLR4 (Toll Like Receptor 4) Antagonist JKB-122 Development
November 09 2022 - 4:00PM
Immune Therapeutics, Inc. (OTC PINK:IMUN) (“Immune” or
“IMUN”) today announced that its Chief Executive Officer,
President, and Director, Stephen Wilson, PhD, resigned from his
positions with Immune on November 3, 2022, citing a lack of
Director and Officer insurance. In addition, Dr. Clifford Selsky
resigned from his position as a Director of Immune on November 4,
2022. Dr. Selsky’s resignation was not the result of any material
dispute or disagreement with Immune, Immune’s management, or
Immune’s board of directors on any matter relating to the
operations, policies, or practices of Immune. The Board has
commenced a search for a replacement CEO and is considering several
candidates.
Kevin Phelps, a long-standing Immune Director
stated, “We wish Dr. Wilson and Dr. Selsky success in their
endeavors and appreciate their efforts in support of Immune and its
employees.”
For the remainder of this year, Kelly O. Wilson,
the current Chief Operating Officer, will fill the roles of Interim
Chief Executive Officer and Interim President. Glen Farmer, Chief
Financial Officer, is continuing in his position with the
Company.
The Company believes that the management changes
will not affect its ability to realize its strategic goals,
including the development of the long-acting TLR4 (Toll Like
Receptor 4) Antagonist JKB-122.
Louis Salomonsky, a member of Immune’s board of
directors, stated, “I am confident that Mr. Farmer and Ms. Wilson
can move forward in initiating the buildout of what we expect to be
an outstanding executive team that will have the strategic,
scientific, and operational experience capable of delivering the
company’s future goals and milestones in a timely and effective
manner, including the development of JKB-122.”
