PYC Therapeutics Announces Retirement of Dr. Bernard Hockings as Board Director

PERTH, Australia and NEW YORK, New York – March 26, 2021 – PYC Therapeutics (ASX: PYC), a biotechnology company developing a new generation of precision RNA therapeutics to change the lives of patients with inherited diseases, today announced the retirement of Dr. Bernard Hockings from PYC’s Board of Directors.

“Bernard has served on PYC’s Board for more than 7 years and in that time has made tremendous contributions to the Company, including helping to lay the foundations for our evolution into a leading RNA therapeutics company. It has been a pleasure to work with Bernard previously as a fellow Board Director and more recently in my current capacity. Bernard leaves a lasting legacy at PYC and one on which we are excited to build,” said Sahm Nasseri U.S. Chief Executive Officer of PYC Therapeutics. “Consistent with PYC’s strategy of expanding our U.S. management team to enable access to U.S. capital markets, we look forward to appointing additional U.S. based and industry experienced Directors in the coming months.”

“It has been a privilege to serve as a Board Director of PYC over the past years. I have had a lifelong interest in medical research and as such I am thrilled to see how PYC has evolved now into a Company on the cusp of translating exciting science into patient impact,” said Dr. Hockings. “I am excited about the recent appointment of Dr. Rosenblatt as a Board Director and I know that PYC is well placed to deliver the full impact of its distinctive science going forward with a clear and focused strategy supported by a growing team and capabilities across both Australia and the U.S. I will be watching with excitement as PYC continues its transformation into a multi-asset, clinical-stage biotechnology company.”
