Relief Therapeutics Appoints Industry Veteran, Jack Weinstein, as Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer - Seite 2

Raghuram (Ram) Selvaraju, Chairman of the Board, said: "We are delighted to have Jack join the Relief team. His broad expertise will be invaluable to the Company at a time when RLF-100^TM outpaces traditional clinical development timelines to meet the necessary requirements to demonstrate safety and efficacy data in the treatment of severely ill COVID-19 patients. His regulatory and public company experience will be critical in our intensive interactions with regulatory authorities and our increasing dialogue with the investment community in order to raise awareness and understanding of Relief. I very much look forward to working with him."

"I am impressed by how swiftly Relief reacted to one of the largest healthcare disasters of our time by rapidly advancing their proprietary asset into clinical development and towards approval. I am excited to join the Company at a stage when it is evolving and growing to meet a major unmet medical need with a potentially lifesaving treatment for severely sick COVID-19 patients," said Jack Weinstein, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. "I look forward to leveraging my established industry know-how and network to help steward Relief into this new, exciting stage in its development and to be part of the Relief team to help realize its long- term strategic plans beyond the planned commercialization of RLF-100^TM worldwide."

Relief also reported that Jeremy Meinen will maintain his current role and responsibilities within the Company as principal finance and accounting officer and will take up the new title of Vice President of Finance and Administration with immediate effect.

In addition, Yves Sagot, Ph.D., co-founder and former Chief Scientific Officer, has as of today transitioned into a temporary consulting role. This change will allow him to continue to advise Relief on its R&D activities as the Company rapidly advances RLF-100(TM) in development, while allowing him to take on new opportunities.

Raghuram (Ram) Selvaraju commented: "We are extremely grateful for Yves' contributions to Relief throughout its history, in particular his understanding of the potential RLF-100^TM may hold in the treatment of severe COVID-19 patients. We are pleased he will continue to serve the Company in a short-term consulting capacity and wish him the best in his future endeavors."
