Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
NovaBay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) is reporting that on August 19, 2010, Dr. Harry F. Hixson, Jr. resigned as a non-executive Director and member of the Board’s Audit Committee and Compensation Committee.

The Company believes there are no disagreements between Dr. Hixson and the Company related to the Company’s operations, policies, or procedures that caused the resignation.
