Therapeutics Announces Board Changes to Support the Next Phase of Growth
Therapeutics Limited ACN 080 699 065 (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) ("Alterity" or "the Company") announces a series
of Board changes ahead of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on Friday 21st November, designed to align with the Company's
next phase of growth as it advances towards Phase 3 clinical development.
Geoffrey Kempler, founding shareholder, former Chief Executive Officer and current Non-Executive Chairman, has advised the Board of his
decision to retire as Chair and Director, marking the conclusion of an important and transformative chapter in Alterity's history.
Kempler established the Company (formerly Prana Biotechnology) more than two decades ago, building it from a pioneering research venture
into an internationally recognised, clinical-stage biotechnology enterprise focused on neurodegenerative diseases. His leadership and
commitment have supported the Board's strategy of targeting important unmet medical needs in neurology, building a robust intellectual
property portfolio, and successful progression of its lead clinical asset ATH434 to Phase 3 planning for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA),
a Parkinsonian disorder with no currently approved therapy.
Board expresses its sincere gratitude to Mr Kempler for his extraordinary service, drive, and stewardship, which have positioned Alterity
with a strong foundation and an experienced management team for the future.
parallel with this planned succession, Mr Brian Meltzer has decided now to trim his portfolio of directorships and retire as Non-Executive
Director after 26 years of service to the Company. The Board acknowledges Mr Meltzer's guidance and invaluable input throughout
key phases of the Company's evolution.
Kempler commented: "It has been an honour to lead Alterity from inception and work with talented colleagues to advance new therapies
for neurodegenerative diseases. With the Company entering an exciting stage of late-phase development, and with several long-serving
directors, including myself and Mr Meltzer, retiring, we are enabling a new generation of leaders to guide Alterity's strategic
vision and execution,
look forward to supporting Alterity as a committed shareholder and in a consulting capacity through an important transition period."
Kempler and Mr Meltzer's resignations are effective at 5pm AEDST on Friday 21st November 2025.
a measured and forward-looking succession plan, the Board announces the following appointments:
Alterity Therapeutics Limited ACN 080 699 065
Level 14, 350 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia
Stamler's and Mr Barbaczy's appointments are effective immediately following the close of the AGM on Friday 21st
changes strengthen the board and have been implemented to ensure continuity of governance, to draw on a diverse breadth of skills and
experience, and to support Alterity's drive toward meaningful outcomes for patients and shareholders in the coming years.
