Alltracel Pharmaceuticals Plc announces Appointment of Nick Hart as CFO and Executive Director

Dublin, Ireland and London, UK | Posted on May 9th, 2007

Nick has worked in the Life Sciences sector for over twenty years and has extensive experience in completing corporate transactions, including licensing, business development and M&A.

Before joining Alltracel, Nick worked as CFO of Smart Holograms Ltd, a company developing devices for disease diagnosis and management, and for Bioscience Managers Ltd, an international Life Sciences corporate finance and advisory practice, advising companies on M&A, strategy, and licensing transactions. Prior to this he was CFO, COO and then acting CEO of Cantab Pharmaceuticals plc, where he led the merger with Xenova Group plc, both UK biotechnology companies. He has also worked for BOC Healthcare and Servier, a French pharmaceutical company.

We also announce today the resignation of Mr. Irial Finan from the Board. Irial served as a non-executive director since January 2004 and contributed invaluable advice and experience over the past few years during Alltracel's international expansion. He has decided to step down from the Board due to the increased demands of his executive commitments within the Coca Cola Group.

Further changes include the current Group Financial Controller Stuart Sands assuming Company Secretarial duties following the departure of John Fitzpatrick as Finance Director and Secretary. We would like to thank John for his contribution to the Company over the last 19 months and wish him well in his return to practice.

Commenting on these developments, Padraic O'Connor, Chairman of Alltracel said:

"On behalf of the Board and the Company, I would like to extend a warm welcome to Nick Hart whose Life Sciences background and deal experience will assist in our strategy to grow the Alltracel Group in its core markets and to explore new markets. I would also like to express our appreciation to Irial for his contribution to the Company's growth and success over the past number of years."

Nick (52) is a director of ProSpect Pharma Inc and was a director of Smart Holograms Ltd and Bioscience Managers Ltd. There are no further disclosures to be made in respect of Nick Hart under paragraph g of Schedule 2 of the AIM Rules for Companies.
