On September 13, 2021, Christopher Wolfenberg resigned, effective immediately, as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Zomedica Corp. (the “Company”). Mr. Wolfenberg’s resignation did not relate to any disagreement with the operations, policies or practices of the Company on any matters.

On September 13, 2021, the Board appointed Sean Whelan as a member of the Board to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Wolfenberg’s resignation. Mr. Whelan will serve as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board. Jeffrey Rowe, the former Chairman of the Audit Committee, will continue to serve as a member of the Audit Committee.

Since August 2020, Mr. Whelan, 50, has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Encore Rehabilitation Services, a provider of therapy services and associated compliance and revenue cycle support services. From November 2019 until July 2020, Mr. Whelan served as the Chief Financial Officer of Smile America Partners, a provider of in-school dental services. From September 2018 to October 2019, Mr. Whelan served as the Chief Financial Officer of Bedrock Manufacturing, LLC, a manufacturer and retailer of watches, leather goods, apparel, bags and luggage. From September 2017 to September 2018, he served as the Chief Financial Officer of Encore Rehabilitation Services. From December 2010 to December 2016, Mr. Whelan served as the Chief Financial Officer, Secretary and Treasurer and as a Director of Diplomat, Inc. (NYSE: DPLO), a then publicly-traded specialty pharmacy. Mr. Whelan is a Certified Public Accountant and holds Bachelor of Business Administration and Master of Accounting degrees from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business.

As an non-employee director of the Company, Mr. Whelan will be entitled to compensation in accordance with the Company’s non-employee director compensation policy. In addition, in connection with his appointment, Mr. Whelan received options to purchase an aggregate of 800,000 common shares at an exercise price of $0.57 per share under the Company’s Amended and Restated Stock Option Plan. The options will vest in four equal annual installments, beginning on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and will expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant, subject to earlier termination upon the occurrence of certain circumstances.
