SurModics
Announces Gerald B. Fischer’s Retirement from Board of Directors
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 5, 2015--SurModics, Inc.
(Nasdaq: SRDX), a leading provider of surface modification and in vitro
diagnostic technologies to the healthcare industries, today announced
that Gerald B. (Jerry) Fischer has retired from the board of directors,
effective immediately. Fischer is stepping down for personal health
reasons. Following Fischer’s retirement, the SurModics board now
consists of eight members, seven of whom are independent. At present,
the board does not intend to fill the vacancy created as a result of
Fischer’s retirement as it is the Company’s intention to reduce the size
of the Board over time.
Fischer, who joined the board in 2002, was the former president and
chief executive officer of the University of Minnesota Foundation.
During his time with SurModics, he served on the audit and corporate
governance and nominating committees and helped guide SurModics through
a number of significant milestones in the Company’s evolution.
“On behalf of our Board and the SurModics management team, we thank
Jerry for his outstanding service and longstanding commitment to the
Company,” stated Scott Ward, Chairman of the Board. “Jerry has been an
extraordinary Board member, and we greatly appreciate the leadership,
insight and financial expertise he has provided over the past 12 years.
We are grateful for his thoughtful guidance, and we wish him all the
best in the future.”
Gary Maharaj, SurModics’ chief executive officer, further added, “I have
enjoyed and benefited from Jerry's service to the Board. I will greatly
miss his collaborative leadership style, deeps insights and sage
counsel.”
