On April 19, 2019, the Board increased the number of its directors to eight and appointed David Greenwood as a member of the Board.

Mr. Greenwood brings to CohBar more than 40 years of financial and operational experience in biotechnology and investment banking. From December 2010 until its merger with Gurnet Point Capital in November 2018, he served on the Board of Directors of Corium International, Inc. (formerly, NASDAQ: CORI), a biopharmaceutical company developing and commercializing transdermal healthcare products. Mr. Greenwood served as Corium International’s Executive Chairman from June 2012 to December 2014, and Chairman from December 2014 to November 2018. From 1995 through December 2011, Mr. Greenwood served in a number of executive and leadership roles, including Chief Financial Officer, President, Chief Executive Officer and Director at Geron Corporation (NASDAQ: GERN), a biotechnology company focused on regenerative medicine and cancer. Previously, he served as Chairman of both Geron Bio-Med Limited, and TA Therapeutics, Ltd., while also serving on the boards of directors of ViaGen, Inc., Clone International, Parnell Pharmaceuticals Holdings Ltd and Pacific Lutheran University. He currently serves on the boards of several private companies in the biopharmaceutical and medical device fields. From 1979 to 1995, Mr. Greenwood held various positions at the investment bank J.P. Morgan Chase & Co., where he focused on corporate finance and mergers and acquisitions. Mr. Greenwood received his bachelor’s degree from Pacific Lutheran University and his M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.  Our Board believes that Mr. Greenwood’s financial and business expertise in the biopharmaceutical industry qualify him to serve as a member of our Board.

In connection with his appointment as a member of the Board, Mr. Greenwood was granted stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $2.40 per share (the “Option”). The Option will vest and become exercisable in equal monthly installments over a period of four years based on Mr. Greenwood’s continued service to the Company during the vesting period. Mr. Greenwood will also receive annual cash compensation of $60,000 in consideration of his service as a director.
