Camp4 Therapeutics expands board with two new directors

Cambridge, MA-based Camp4 Therapeutics Corp (NASDAQ:CAMP), a $108 million market cap biopharmaceutical company, announced on Monday the appointment of two new members to its Board of Directors, effective last Sunday. The company, whose stock has declined nearly 50% over the past six months according to InvestingPro data, has appointed Douglas Williams, PhD, and Murray Stewart, DM FRCP, expanding its board from ten to twelve members.

Dr. Williams, with a career spanning various leadership roles in the biotechnology industry, brings a wealth of experience to the board. He has previously served as Executive Vice President and President, Research & Development at Sana Biotechnology, and as President and CEO of Codiak BioSciences. His tenure at Biogen Inc (NASDAQ:BIIB). and other firms like Seagen Inc. and Amgen Inc (NASDAQ:AMGN). further bolsters his profile. Dr. Williams, who has also been appointed to the Audit Committee, has been a board chairman and member for several biotech companies.

Dr. Stewart comes with a strong background in biopharmaceutical leadership, including roles as interim Chief Medical (TASE:BLWV) Officer at X4 Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:XFOR) and Senior Medical Advisor at Rhythm Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:RYTM). His experience extends to GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE:GSK), where he held positions including Chief Medical Officer with global responsibilities. Dr. Stewart has been recognized for his contributions to research, clinical development, and regulatory strategy.

Both appointees will receive compensation in line with the company’s Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy. They were each granted an option to purchase 17,787 shares of Camp4’s common stock, vesting over three years, and will receive cash retainers for their board service. Additionally, Dr. Williams will receive a retainer for his Audit Committee role.

Camp4 believes that the extensive experience of Dr. Williams and Dr. Stewart will be invaluable to the company, as they both hold qualifications that align with the company’s strategic goals. Their appointments come at a crucial time, with analysts setting price targets between $17 and $22.63, suggesting significant upside potential from the current price of $5.37. The appointments come without any reported arrangements or transactions exceeding $120,000 with the company in the last fiscal year, ensuring independence in their new roles.
