Patient Square Capital became the company’s majority owner upon closing of the rights offering and conversion of Patient Square’s senior secured convertible notes per its investment in June. As previously announced, following the completion of the rights offering, Patient Square has the right to nominate a number of directors to the company’s board of directors that is proportionate to its ownership of the company, and has nominated Karr Narula, Justin Sabet-Peyman, and Trit Garg to serve on the board, effective immediately. Sabet-Peyman will serve as chair of both the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee, and Garg will serve as a member of the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee.
