Market and media release 22 June 2020
Nathan Hukill resigns from AFT’S Board
AFT Pharmaceuticals (NZX; AFT, ASX; AFP) today announces Nathan Hukill, president
of the company’s former major shareholder CRG, has resigned as a non-executive
director of AFT.
The move follows AFT’s $74 million capital restructure
1
, which has seen CRG, a
specialist healthcare investor, sell the 16 million shares it held in the company. CRG
sold its stake because its fund that made the investment is now returning capital to
investors. CRG also provided debt facilities to AFT which were refinanced earlier this
year.
AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited Managing Director Dr Hartley Atkinson said: “Nate and
CRG have played a pivotal role in driving the transformation of AFT. When CRG first
provided finance to and invested in AFT in 2014 we were a small privately-owned
pharma company almost totally focussed on Australasia.
“Since then, with CRG’s assistance, AFT has grown to become an NZX and ASX-listed
company with global aspirations, annual sales exceeding $100 million and a market
capitalisation of circa $420 million.
“The AFT board is very grateful for the support CRG and Nate have provided through
this period. We thank them on behalf of all shareholders and wish them well for the
future.”
Mr Hukill’s resignation is effective immediately and AFT will consider the appointment
of a replacement in the coming months.
For and on behalf of AFT Pharmaceuticals Limited by Malcolm Tubby, Chief Financial
Officer.
