Isotechnika Inc. Institutes Corporate Governance Changes

EDMONTON, Nov. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Isotechnika Inc. announced today that effective immediately the Company will separate the position of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, currently held by Dr. Robert Foster and reduce the number of insiders on the Board of Directors.

Effective immediately, Dr. Foster is resigning as Chief Executive Officer and will take on the position of Executive Chairman. Dr. Randall Yatscoff will assume the position of Chief Executive Officer and President. "In keeping with good corporate governance, we feel it is important to establish a clear distinction between the executive team and the Board of Directors," stated Dr. Foster. "We believe these changes will clarify the board governance and management functions and in turn strengthen each function as the Company evolves. After more than 12 years as CEO of Isotechnika, I am extremely pleased that Dr. Yatscoff has agreed to take over this important executive position. Dr. Yatscoff brings over 16 years academic experience in immunosuppression and over 10 years biotechnology experience to our company. Having Dr. Yatscoff assume this role is a natural transition process. I am pleased to be able to focus my time on Board issues and continue working with the executive group."

In assuming the position of Chief Executive Officer and President, Dr. Yatscoff will resign from his position on the Board of Directors upon the appointment of a suitable replacement. It is anticipated that this will occur prior to the year end. "We believe these are positive changes for the Company," stated Dr. Yatscoff. "These new roles will create a more independent board and reinforce the accountability of the executive team to the Board of Directors for the day to day operations of the Company."
