OXFORD, UK, March 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Oxford GlycoSciences Plc (LSE: OGS, Nasdaq: OGSI) announces that Michael Kranda has informed the Board of Directors of his intention to step down by the end of this year for personal family reasons. OGS Chairman G. Kirk Raab announced that the Company has initiated a search to replace Michael Kranda as Chief Executive Officer.
Kirk Raab said: ``Over the last 6 years Michael has helped us build a uniquely wealthy company in terms of proprietary technology, pipeline, partnerships and financial strength. We will miss Michael's unique contribution as CEO but he will stay on through the transition period and I am confident that OGS' programmes and progress will continue unabated. We have a highly experienced management team, a strong commercial organization building under Don DeGoyler's leadership and a Board of Directors made up of career drug discovery and development professionals.''
Michael Kranda said: ``I have truly enjoyed helping to build OGS into the Proteomics pioneer and drug discovery and development company it is today. I am proud of how far we have come in these 6 years and I have every expectation that OGS will continue on its path to creating substantial share holder value in the future. I am committed to continue day-to-day leadership and make this a seamless transition.''
