Bedminster, N.J., August 6, 2015 -- CorMedix Inc. (NYSE MKT: CRMD), a pharmaceutical company focused on developing and commercializing therapeutic products for the prevention and treatment of cardiorenal and infectious disease, announced today that the Board appointed Janet M. Dillione as a director of the Board of Directors. Ms. Dillione will hold this position until our 2016 annual meeting of stockholders.
Ms. Dillione has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Cardiopulmonary Corp, a leader in medical device connectivity for EMR integration, and integrated clinical applications and workflows for over 20 years, since May 2014. Previously, she was at Nuance Communications, Inc., a leading provider of voice and language solutions for businesses and consumers around the world, having joined Nuance in April 2010 as Executive Vice President & General Manager of the Healthcare Division and serving as an executive officer from May 2010 until March 2014. From June 2000 to April 2010, Ms. Dillione held several senior level management positions at Siemens Medical Solutions, a global leader in medical imaging, laboratory diagnostics, and healthcare information technology, including President and CEO of the global healthcare IT division.
Ms. Dillione has over 25 years of experience leading global teams in the development and delivery of healthcare technology and services. In that time, she has acquired both financial expertise and significant senior management experience as a chief operating officer and executive officer that will allow her to be a valued addition to the Company’s Board of Directors.
“We are delighted to announce our newest Board member who embodies a positive spirit and brings talent, expertise and energy to the Board, said Randy Milby, CEO, CorMedix. “We are fortunate to have her by our side as we continue to advance the company and bring Neutrolin to patients and return value to our shareholders.”
The appointment was made upon the request of Manchester Securities Corp., or Manchester, which partially exercised its right to appoint up to two members to our Board of Directors. Manchester holds the Board appointment rights pursuant to a letter agreement, dated March 3, 2015, between us and Manchester, which letter agreement was entered into as part of the backstop financing made available to us by Manchester in March 2015. Although appointed by Manchester, Ms. Dillione will be an independent director and will not be acting or serving as Manchester’s representative on the Board.
