INVION LIMITED – CHANGE TO COMPOSITION OF EXECUTIVE

Clinical-stage drug development company Invion Limited (ASX:IVX) today announced that Dr James Campbell will be returning to a non-executive director role, effective 14 October 2013.

Having joined the Board as a non-executive director on 26 February 2012, Dr Campbell was appointed as the company’s Australian-based Executive Director following the acquisition in August 2012 of US private company Inverseon Inc.

Former Chemgenex Pharmaceuticals Limited CEO, Dr Greg Collier, was appointed Managing Director & CEO of Invion Limited in May 2013. Following a comprehensive transition period to the new Executive, Dr Campbell, who has recently been appointed CEO of New Zealand-based biotechnology company, Photonz Corporation, will now return to a non-executive role within Invion.

Invion Chairman Dr Ralph Craven thanked Dr Campbell for his contribution as an Executive Director.

“On behalf of each of the Directors of Invion, I offer our deep gratitude to James for his efforts and achievements surrounding the merger, post-merger integration and Invion’s development in these last 14 months. I look forward to James’ continuing involvement with Invion as a non-executive director,” Dr Craven said.

Dr Campbell has more than 20 years experience in scientific research, research management, management consulting and venture capital. An executive at ChemGenex Pharmaceuticals Limited for nine years prior to its sale in 2011, Dr Campbell currently sits on the Deakin University Molecular & Medical Research Advisory Board and the IP and Commercialisation Committee of the Cooperative Research Centre for Mental Health.
