SIGNATURE

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized.

Dr Peng Leong will join the company as Chief Business Officer, commencing in September. Dr Leong will be primarily responsible for identifying and negotiating in-licensing and out-licensing opportunities for Novogen, and will take a central role in the ongoing development and execution of Novogen’s corporate strategy.

Dr Leong has spent eighteen years in the pharmaceutical industry, beginning as a scientist, and followed by eight years in healthcare investment banking and private equity, and eight years in business development. Dr Leong started his career at Chiron Corporation, a pioneering biotechnology company based in California that was subsequently acquired by Novartis International AG (NYSE: NVS). While working in healthcare investment banking at CIBC World Markets and Piper Jaffray, he was involved in raising more than US$ 1.4 billion for over 20 biotechnology companies. In his various roles, including his most recent position at Merck Serono (FWB: MRK), Dr Leong has had a leadership role in the acquisition or sale of over US$ 1 billion in pharmaceutical product rights. He holds a PhD in Biochemistry from the University of Toronto, Canada and an MBA from the University of California, Berkeley. Dr Leong will be based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In addition to these senior management appointments, Novogen has bolstered its operational capabilities by hiring David Cain, formerly of Aviragen Therapeutics Inc (NASDAQ: AVIR), previously known as Biota Pharmaceuticals. Mr Cain will join Novogen as Director of Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) and will commence work with the company in October.

Dr James Garner, CEO of Novogen, commented, “as we highlighted at the Shareholder Meeting in March, a key part of our strategy for Novogen this year has been to evolve from a scientific, discovery-focused company to a development organisation, focused on moving programs into and through human trials. As our development candidates transition successively into clinical studies, strong medical and development capabilities will be essential to oversee the progression of our portfolio.

Moreover, in order to realise sustainable long-term shareholder value from our pipeline, we will be looking to actively engage with potential partners to explore licensing opportunities, which may include both out-licensing of our existing development candidates and carefully-considered addition of complementary assets to our portfolio. To succeed in these ambitions, we will need access to a more commercially-focused set of skills and relationships, working alongside the strong scientific capabilities that already exist in Novogen.

It is therefore a great pleasure to have Gordon, Peng, and David join the Novogen team. Their expertise and experience in their respective fields will bring a greater breadth to the organisation, and we are very much looking forward to working with them.”
