On August 30, 2020, Steven Gullans, Ph.D., provided notice of his resignation from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of NeuroBo Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company"), effective on August 31, 2020. Mr. Gullans's resignation was not the result of any disagreement with the Company regarding the Company's operations, policies or practices.
On September 1, 2020, upon recommendation from the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, the Board appointed Douglas J. Swirsky as a Class I member of the Board to fill the vacancy left by Mr. Gullans.
Mr. Swirsky currently serves as President and Chief Executive Officer and a director of a publicly traded pharmaceutical company, Rexahn Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: REXN). He has held these positions since November 2018, and served as Rexahn's President, Chief Financial Officer, and Corporate Secretary from January 2018 to November 2018. Prior to joining Rexahn, Mr. Swirsky was President, CEO and a director of GenVec, Inc., a publicly traded biotechnology company, a position he held from 2013 through the sale of the company in 2017. He joined GenVec in 2006 as Chief Financial Officer. Prior to joining GenVec, Mr. Swirsky was a Managing Director and the Head of Life Sciences Investment Banking at Stifel Nicolaus from 2005 to 2006 and held investment banking positions at Legg Mason from 2002 until Stifel Financial's acquisition of the Legg Mason Capital Markets business in 2005.
Mr. Swirsky also previously held investment banking positions at UBS, PaineWebber and Morgan Stanley. Mr. Swirsky currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Cellectar Biosciences, Inc., a publicly traded clinical stage biopharmaceutical company.  Within the last five years, Mr. Swirsky also served on the boards of directors of then-publicly traded life sciences companies Pernix Therapeutics Holdings, Inc. and Fibrocell Science, Inc.  Mr. Swirsky is a certified public accountant and a CFA® charter holder. He received his B.S. in Business Administration from Boston University and his M.B.A. from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. Mr. Swirsky contributes extensive financial and industry experience to the boards of directors on which he serves.
Mr. Swirsky has been appointed to the Audit Committee of the Board. Mr. Swirsky was not selected as a director pursuant to any arrangement or understanding with any other person. There are no transactions in which Mr. Swirsky has an interest requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Swirsky will receive compensation in accordance with the Company's policies for compensation payable to the Company's non-employee directors. Such policy provides for cash compensation of $20,000 per year for service on the Board, plus an additional $20,000 per year for service on at least one Board committee. Mr. Swirsky also received an option to purchase 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock, vesting monthly over three years, subject to continuing service.
