Peter Donato has today submitted his resignation from employment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Zomedica Corp. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Zomedica Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) effective as of August 15, 2024.

 

A third party search is being conducted for Mr. Donato’s replacement as chief financial officer. In the interim, Mr. Michael Zuehlke, Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller of Zomedica Inc. will assume operational responsibility for accounting and finance matters.

 

Mr. Donato also entered into a Consulting Agreement with Zomedica Inc. with an effective date of August 16, 2024 to provide support and transition services for a period of three years. Under the Consulting Agreement, for the first three months, Mr. Donato will be paid 25% of his base salary for up to 10 hours per week, and thereafter, will be available on an hourly basis.

 

In connection with his resignation, Mr. Donato entered into a separation and release agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) with Zomedica Inc. Under the terms of the Separation Agreement, Mr. Donato is entitled to receive reimbursement for the balance of current and remaining expenses in connection with his employment in the Ann Arbor location. The Separation Agreement contains a release of claims, as well as an acknowledgment of Mr. Donato’s existing confidentiality, non-disparagement and non-solicitation obligations with the Company (as modified by the Separation Agreement).
