Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On July 30, 2013, Mr. Michael Earley resigned as the Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chairman of Islet Sciences, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”). The resignation of Mr. Earley was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On August 4, 2013, Dr. Jerry L. Nadler resigned as a Director of the Company. The resignation of Dr. Nadler was not the result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.
On July 30, 2013, Mr. Mark Foletta resigned as an Advisor to the CEO and the Board of the Company.
The Company is currently interviewing and seeking additional candidates for its CEO and Board positions and to move its business forward.
Item 8.01 Other Events
On August 2, 2013, a press release was circulated by the plaintiffs in Islet Holdings, Inc., et al. v. Islet Sciences, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:12-cv-00799-RJS (D. Utah) which purported that the resignation of the Company’s former CEO, John Steel, resulted from plaintiffs’ allegations of wrongful conduct on his part. The press release goes on to detail a “confession” by a person unaffiliated with the Company and details an amended complaint filed by plaintiffs against the Company and certain of its directors.
The resignation of Mr. Steel did not occur as a result of plaintiffs’ lawsuit or their actions. In addition, the Company has contacted the third party who allegedly provided a “confession” and was advised that no such statements were made by him at any time.
The Company believes that the press release was further evidence of plaintiffs’ misguided attempt to wrongfully obtain compensation from the Company to which they have no entitlement. Plaintiffs’ original lawsuit, as disclosed in the Company’s filings, was dismissed for failure to state a claim. The Company believes that the current lawsuit is similarly without merit and will be similarly dismissed.
