Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 31, 2018, Alexey Nechaev delivered notice of his resignation from the board of directors (the “Board”) of Cleveland BioLabs, Inc. (the “Company”). His resignation will be effective on August 10, 2018. Mr. Nechaev did not resign because of a disagreement with the Company or the other members of the Board on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Ms. Nechaev was most recently elected director by the Company’s stockholders after being nominated by the Board as a designee of David Davidovich, the Company’s majority stockholder, under the terms of the previously disclosed securities purchase agreement between Mr. Davidovich and the Company, dated as of June 24, 2015 (the “SPA”).
On August 6, 2018, the Board appointed Ivan Fedyunin as a replacement director to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Nechaev, to be effective August 10, 2018. Mr. Fedyunin was proposed as a director nominee by the Company’s majority stockholder under the terms of the SPA. Like directors Anna Evdokimova and Ivan Persiyanov, as a paid employee of Millhouse LLC, an asset management company of which the Company’s majority stockholder serves as Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Fedyunin will not receive compensation for board service from the Company. Biographical information for Mr. Fedyunin is provided below.
Ivan Fedyunin, 31, has served as an expert in healthcare and life science investments of Millhouse LLC, an asset management company, since 2017.
