SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., March 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RenovaCare, Inc. (Symbol: RCAR; www.renovacareinc.com), a clinical-stage developer of patented technologies for isolating and spraying cells for the regeneration of skin and other organs and tissues, today announced reductions in its management team to further streamline administrative expenses.
On March 24, Dr. Kaiyo Nedd resigned as Interim President, Chief Executive Officer and Director, and Mr. Justin Frere as Chief Financial Officer and Secretary. Their resignations were not due to any disagreements between the Company and them on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies, or practices. Dr. Nedd will continue to provide ongoing support to the Company as needed with respect to legacy matters, and Mr. Frere will continue to provide accounting services to the Company as needed. Chairman and majority stockholder, Mr. Harmel S. Rayat, will assume the roles of President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Secretary on an interim basis.
The Company has undertaken ongoing administrative and operating cost-cutting measures due to (i) COVID-19 related low patient enrollment in the RenovaCare clinical trial for safety and feasibility (CELLMIST 1), (ii) the ongoing legal costs of the Company’s defense against a civil complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and several piggyback class action and derivative lawsuits and (iii) the reputational damage suffered by the Company, which resulted in the loss of several clinical partners in June 2021 when the SEC complaint was announced and the clinical trial began and effectively precluded the Company from the capital markets for additional funding.
Accordingly, the Company will continue to be materially and adversely affected in all aspects of its operations and finances until these actions are resolved in court and may consider additional reductions in Company expenses. At this time, it is uncertain whether the Company will be able to bear the anticipated costs of its defense of the SEC civil complaint and the associated class action and derivative lawsuits.
