Company
), effective as of October 19, 2017. Dr. Gros has agreed to remain as an employee of the Company until December 31, 2017, at which time
his employment with the Company will terminate and he will receive the severance benefits described in his Employment Agreement dated January 4, 2017, subject to the conditions set forth therein.
D.A. shares a love and respect for Neurocrine, where he has been a valued member of our senior team. He made important
contributions during his tenure, in particular during our recent successful financing and the launch of INGREZZA. We wish him well in his future endeavors, said Kevin C. Gorman, Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
