ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

LCT CEO Dr Ken Taylor signals intention to retire

25 January 2021 – Auckland, New Zealand and Sydney, Australia – At today’s board meeting of Living Cell Technologies (LCT), CEO and board member Dr Ken Taylor notified the board of his intention to retire as CEO in July this year.

Chairman of LCT, Professor Bernie Tuch, says that LCT has benefited greatly from Dr Taylor’s connections and reputation in the global pharmaceutical industry.

“During Ken’s seven years in the role, the company has completed two clinical studies of NTCELL[® ] as a novel treatment for Parkinson’s disease and initiated new projects for innovative treatments for migraine and obesity.

“Due to his extensive professional networks, Ken was able to connect LCT with relevant international experts as well as bring a number of sizeable new investors to the table,” says Dr Tuch. “We will miss his expertise, insights, and wealth of experience.”

“I have greatly enjoyed the challenges and opportunities during my time with LCT and am proud of the work of the team I lead. Over the next six months I will work with the board and management to assist the company in transitioning to its next phase”, he says.

Dr Taylor joined LCT as CEO in February 2014 and was appointed to the board in August that year, after a prestigious international career in both business and academia.

Authorised for release by the Board of Living Cell Technologies Limited.
