16 November 2011, Melbourne: Mr Nick Gatsios will resign as CEO of HealthLinx Limited
(ASX: HTX). Mr Gatsios was a founding director of the private company when it was
established in 2002 and has been CEO of the company since it listed on the ASX in 2006.
In a decision reached by both parties, Mr Gatsios will extend his contracted notice period by
two months to remain with the company as managing director until 30th June 2012. This
extended period will allow Mr Gatsios to complete current projects of strategic importance
to the company.
Dr Greg Rice (Chairman, HealthLinx Limited) and the Board acknowledge the extraordinary
contribution that Nick has made to develop and position the company on the global
markets. “The board and I thank Nick for his professionalism and commitment to the
company over the past nine years. As CEO, Nick managed the clinical trials and data
generation that underpin the company’s OvPlex™ ovarian cancer diagnostic” said Dr Rice.
“Nick has achieved many significant milestones with HealthLinx that really are extraordinary
given the size and resources that have been available to the company. With the successful
completion of the clinical trials, the company is entering a new phase with a major focus on
expanding its global marketing, distribution and sales. This is a very positive step for both
the company and Mr Gatsios and a hallmark of the company’s maturation in the
biotechnology sector. A new CEO will drive the implementation of this strategy over the
next 2-3 years”. Prof Rice added.
The market will be kept informed as further developments occur.
