Regulatory News:
Medincell's Ordinary Annual and Extraordinary General Meeting
was held on September 12, 2024, at the company's headquarters (3
rue des Frères Lumière, 34830 Jacou). It was chaired by Mr. Philipe
Guy, Chairman of Medincell's Supervisory Board.
Among the resolutions approved by the Annual General Meeting was
a change in the company's governance and management structure, with
the creation of a Board of Directors to replace the Management
Board and Supervisory Board. Elisabeth Kogan, Tone Kvåle, Virginie
Lleu, Christophe Douat, Philippe Guy and Sabri Markabi were elected
as Board members. Following the Annual General Meeting, the Board
of Directors appointed Philippe Guy as Chairman of the Board of
Directors and Christophe Douat as Chief Executive Officer (they
were previously Chairman of the Supervisory Board and Chairman of
the Executive Board respectively).
Philippe Guy, Chairman of the Board of Directors: “With this
change, our governance will be aligned with international
standards, especially American ones. It will be more agile and
better suited to our operating mode and ambitions. We have also
begun a rigorous process to select potential new directors to
strengthen our board.”
Christophe Douat, CEO: “We have entered a new era with an
exceptional year 2023/2024: approval of UZEDY and its successful
launch, acceleration of phase 3 of mdc-TJK Olanzapine, partnership
with Abbvie, improvement of our financial position. Our goal now is
to ensure Medincell's sustainable growth by remaining committed to
our values and mission.”
The other resolutions presented by the Management Board were
adopted, including the approval of the annual consolidated accounts
for exercise ended March 31, 2024, the remuneration policy
applicable to the Chairman and members of the management board, to
the Chairman and the members of the Supervisory Board as well as
financial delegations granted to the new Board of Directors. As
recommended by the Management Board, resolution 29 was not
adopted.
The replay of the general meeting and the detailed voting
results will soon be available on the MedinCell website.
Medincell also announced that Mr. Stéphane Postic has been
confirmed as CFO. He joined the Company in September 2023 on a
transitional basis, with the mission of adapting the finance and
capital markets functions to Medincell's new challenges.
For operational reasons, the next financial publication, i.e.
the half-yearly results (April-September 2024), will be held on
Tuesday December 10, 2024, replacing the previously announced date
