Board of Directors appoints Kyle Gano, Ph.D., Chief Business Development and Strategy Officer, as CEO-elect, effective October 11, 2024 Kevin Gorman, Ph.D., to continue to serve on the Neurocrine Board of Directors SAN DIEGO, May 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Neurocrine Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq: NBIX), today announced that Kevin Gorman, Ph.D., will retire as Chief Executive Officer of Neurocrine on October 11, 2024. Kyle Gano, Ph.D., currently Neurocrine's Chief Business Development and Strategy Officer, will succeed him in the CEO role. Dr. Gano will also join the Company's Board of Directors at that time, and Dr. Gorman will continue to serve on the Neurocrine Board. Dr. Gorman founded Neurocrine in 1992 and held numerous positions across the Company, including Chief Operating Officer, Chief Business Officer, and Senior Vice President of Business Development, before being appointed CEO in 2008. Under Dr. Gorman's three decades of leadership, Neurocrine has emerged as a fully integrated biopharmaceutical enterprise with a broad, mature pipeline, strong financial position, and highly successful commercial product, INGREZZA® (valbenazine). Dr. Gorman's vision to focus on areas that lack recent innovation or have limited treatment options has provided the Company with meaningful momentum in its mission to discover and develop new medicines that relieve patient suffering. Notably, in late April, Neurocrine submitted to the FDA two New Drug Applications for crinecerfont as a treatment for adult and pediatric patients with classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH). In addition, the Company now has 17 clinical development programs in its pipeline focusing on helping patients across neurology, neuroendocrinology, and neuropsychology. With a growing multi-billion-dollar medicine in INGREZZA, a rich and diverse pipeline, and a strong financial profile, Neurocrine is well positioned to execute on a bold vision for future growth and impact. "It has been a privilege to lead the Neurocrine team in developing life-changing treatments for patients in need," Dr. Gorman said. "When I took on the role of CEO in 2008, Neurocrine was a clinical stage company with a limited pipeline and no approved products. Together, we have built a diverse pipeline and a leading R&D innovation engine designed to rapidly deliver up to four INDs per year. We successfully launched INGREZZA, which has driven strong financial results while improving the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and chorea associated with Huntington's disease. Importantly, we are working diligently to be prepared to bring crinecerfont to patients with CAH next year, if approved. I couldn't be prouder of all that this team has accomplished, and I have never been more confident in Neurocrine's future." Dr. Gorman continued, "With the foundation of a world-class team, compelling science, and clear vision, it is the right time to initiate this well-planned leadership transition. The Board of Directors is confident Kyle is the ideal CEO to lead Neurocrine's next chapter of growth, as am I. We have worked closely together for more than 20 years. He has been instrumental in Neurocrine's success and is an exceptional leader of the organization. I look forward to supporting him in my continuing role as a member of the Neurocrine Board." "I believe deeply in Neurocrine's values and mission, and I am honored to take the reins from an amazing leader and mentor," Dr. Gano said. "This is an important year for our organization, as we look to help even more patients with tardive dyskinesia and Huntington's disease through INGREZZA, while potentially bringing crinecerfont to CAH patients in 2025 – all while advancing our pipeline. I look forward to continuing to work closely with our leadership team and the Board to capitalize on our momentum and advance our vision to be a true global leader in neuroscience." "On behalf of the Board, I thank Kevin for his unwavering dedication to Neurocrine Biosciences over the past three decades and wish him the very best in his well-deserved retirement," said William H. Rastetter, Ph.D., Chairman of the Board of Neurocrine Biosciences. "Having worked closely with Kevin on succession planning, and knowing Kyle well, we're thrilled to appoint Kyle as Neurocrine's CEO-elect and look forward to welcoming him to the Board. We are confident that, with Kyle's deep substantive expertise, broad experience working with functions throughout the Company, and clear vision for the future, Neurocrine will continue to grow and succeed as a leading neuroscience-focused company for the benefit of patients, employees, and shareholders."
