Philadelphia PA and Phoenix AZ, 4 May 2026: Commercial dermatology company, Botanix Pharmaceuticals Limited (ABN 70 009 109 755) (ASX:BOT, "Botanix" or "the Company"), announces the promotion of Paul Seaback to Chief Operating Officer (COO). In his new role, he will oversee the Company's day-to-day operations, drive strategic initiatives, and support continued growth and efficiencies across key business areas.

He is an accomplished biopharmaceutical executive with over three decades of industry experience, including senior leadership roles at leading innovator, generic and specialty pharmaceutical companies, and organisations scaling for growth. Mr Seaback joined Botanix as Chief Technical Officer in November 2024, with a span of control that included CMC/Supply, Quality, Regulatory, Pharmacovigilance, Medical Affairs, and Tech Services. He has contributed significant operational expertise to Botanix.

Mr Seaback's career extends from drug substance and drug product site leadership roles to corporate-level oversight of end-to-end supply functions and business operations, consistently driving growth. Before joining Botanix, Mr Seaback was Chief Technical Officer at Dermavant Sciences (a Roivant company) until its acquisition by Organon, where he developed the global CMC and technical organisation from a clinical stage into a commercial entity. Prior to Dermavant, Mr Seaback was the VP of Operations & Supply until its acquisition by Roche. He has also held global leadership roles at Gilead, Medicis, Hospira, Mayne and Novartis (Sandoz), supporting the commercialisation of leading products including Sovaldi/Harvoni, Vtama, Solodyn, Truvada and Vemlidy.

"Paul Seaback is a dynamic and results-driven leader who brings deep operational expertise and a strong vision for the future," said Dr Howie McKibbon, Chief Executive Officer of Botanix. "We are pleased to recognize his contributions with a well-deserved promotion to Chief Operating Officer as we continue to expand our capabilities and deliver value to our customers and shareholders."

In his new role, Mr Seaback will focus on optimising operational performance, enhancing cross-functional collaboration, and implementing scalable processes to support the company's long-term strategy.

"I'm thrilled to assume this role at such an exciting time for the Company," said Mr Seaback. "I look forward to working with the talented and dedicated team to build on the company's strong foundation and help drive the next phase of growth."
