Mr. McDonald has served as CFO and Treasurer since 2003 and was the second employee hired by the Company. As such, he played an instrumental part in the outstanding growth of the Company, overseeing the financial, accounting and administrative functions. Mr. McDonald also has been a key member of the executive team that created and executed the strategy that has developed tremendous shareholder wealth. Shareholders, the Board of Directors and staff have greatly benefited from Sterling\'s contributions and we wish him well in his retirement.<br /><br />Mr. McDonald commented, \"I am very fortunate to have worked with such a fine team in building a great company for our shareholders and creating value well in excess of our original expectations. I am confident that the management team and board of directors will continue Evolution\'s growth and success going forward.\"<br /><br />Robert Herlin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, \"It has been my distinct pleasure to work with Sterling these last 10 years. His significant and substantial contributions have helped to position the Company for its next stage of development, and I personally thank him for his service and commitment. He will be missed, and we are fortunate to be able to count on him to facilitate the transition to his successor.\"<br /><br />The Company has engaged a corporate recruiter to assist in identifying candidates to replace Mr. McDonald with an emphasis on oilfield services experience to help further commercialize its growing artificial lift technology business segment. Mr. McDonald will continue his present duties until his successor has been identified and elected by the Board of Directors to fill the roles of Chief Financial Officer and Principal Accounting Officer, which is expected to occur in January 2014. Mr. McDonald will be available to the Company as needed during its transition period.<br /><br />Promotion of New Officer<br /><br />In addition and as part of the recent restructuring of operations, the Board of Directors has elected David Joe, the current Controller and Corporate Secretary, to the additional positions of Vice President and Chief Administrative Officer.  Mr. Joe joined the Company in 2005 and since then has been a key member of the management team.<br /><br />Restructuring Detail<br /><br />The Company previously announced an operational restructuring in November 2013 that focuses on two core assets: the Delhi Field CO2 enhanced oil recovery project and the Company\'s patented GARP® artificial lift technology. As part of this effort, the Company completed the divestment of all of its remaining non-GARP® operated properties in December 2013. Accordingly, three members of the operations staff left the Company as of December 31, 2013. Under the severance policy adopted for the restructuring, the departing employees were provided severance in the amount of one year\'s cash compensation payable over twelve months and acceleration of unvested restricted stock awarded from 2010 through 2012. The same benefits are being provided to Mr. McDonald upon his retirement. These costs will be charged to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2013 and are estimated to be approximately $2.0 million pre-tax, of which $0.6 million will be noncash expense.<br /><br />As previously disclosed, employees and directors exercised more than 4 million of 4.8 million performance stock options and warrants awarded from 2004 through 2008, creating approximately $31 million of tax deductions that permanently reduce current and future taxable income up to such amount (the \"Deductions\"). A portion of the Deductions is expected to apply to fiscal 2014 tax year ending June 30, 2014. In addition to the permanent tax savings, the Deductions may cause recent and near-term cash distributions to shareholders to be treated as return of capital.<br /><br />On a financial reporting basis, the Deductions will be recorded as a reduction in current income taxes payable each year, offset by an increase in equity, in amounts equal to the cash taxes payable prior to the effect of the Deductions. The Deductions will only impact reported earnings by increasing the projected effective tax rate closer to the statutory rate in those years affected by the Deductions due to the percentage depletion deduction being delayed and carried forward.<br /><br />The Company will also record a one-time pre-tax expense during the quarter ended December 31, 2013 of approximately $0.65 million associated with the derivatives\' exercise due to incremental payroll tax associated with the derivative exercise and transaction expenses.<br /><br />Assuming a 34% statutory federal income tax rate, the approximate $10.8 million of current and future tax payments savings from the derivatives\' exercise and one-time charges, combined with a reduction in ongoing overhead due to the staff reductions, should substantially exceed the restructuring charges and the cost of expected staff growth associated with further commercialization of GARP®.<br /><br />All of the staff and directors of Evolution wish our departing employees continued success.<br /><br />About Evolution Petroleum<br /><br />Evolution Petroleum Corporation develops incremental petroleum reserves and shareholder value by applying conventional and specialized technology to known oil and gas resources, onshore in the United States. Principal assets as of June 30, 2013 include 13.8 MMBOE of proved, 11.2 MMBOE of probable reserves, 3.7 MMBOE of possible reserves, and no debt.  Assets include a CO2-EOR project with growing production in Louisiana\'s Delhi Field and a patented artificial lift technology designed to extend the life and ultimate recoveries of wells with oil or associated water production.  Other assets include royalty interests in almost 3,000 net acres in the Giddings Field and an interest in a joint venture in the Mississippian Lime play in Kay County, OK with substantial probable reserves.

The Company undertakes no obligation to update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

One source said: “Michael Sharp [the chief executive] is very clear that the buck for Christmas trading stops here.”<br /><br />But analysts pointed out that it was Herrick who sent out a so-called “Santa tax” letter to suppliers just eight days before Christmas, asking for a 2.5 per cent discount on their supply prices.

Analysts and investors said the scale of these costs had not been flagged up by Herrick.<br /><br />Similarly the £25 million refurbishment of the flagship Oxford Street store, which was completed in time for Christmas, caused considerably more disruption to trading at the store than analysts had been led to expect.<br /><br />One investor said: “Simon is incredibly straight talking, which is normally a good thing.

He also raised in excess of $1 billion in debt capital and led the efforts on five successful acquisitions.  Brian\'s considerable international experience, gained through executing global acquisitions and through serving on the Board of Directors of Ryerson\'s joint ventures in China, Mexico, and India, will be relevant to JBT\'s strategy of accelerating participation in emerging, high-growth economies. <br /><br />Prior to his service with Ryerson, Brian had increasing responsibilities with GE Capital, Bank One (now JPMorgan Chase & Co.), and Cole Taylor Bank.

The Company is based in Dublin, Ohio. Cardinal focuses on known formations that have significant proven reserves remaining that can be produced economically. Cardinal targets fields with wells that may need remediation due to neglect or undercapitalization. We select prospects that offer a strong up-side for production. The upside we seek in a prospect is twofold -- it must have the potential to be restarted or have its current production increased using newer technology and remediation methods and; it must also have additional lease acreage which can be further developed by completing development wells adjacent to existing producing wells. Cardinal exploits these undervalued assets by acquiring a majority working interest in the prospect and then applies the Company\'s calculated development plan. Cardinal also seeks acquisitions of over-leveraged companies when there is a clear upside from their purchase based on strong commodity prices. The Company operates throughout the Continental United States.

The president and chief executive of Poudre Valley Hospital assumed Hayes\' old duties at the Loveland-based medical center. Medical Center of the Rockies and Poudre Valley Hospital are UCHealth facilities.<br /><br />UCHealth officials framed the changes as another step in Memorial Hospital\'s makeover, which began Oct. 1, 2012 when UCHealth took over operation of Memorial\'s facilities across the city.<br /><br />\"This is sort of a transition to some of the long-term planning for Memorial Hospital, and to continue the growth,\" said Dan Weaver, a UCHealth spokesman.<br /><br />Hayes said he became involved in discussions to take over Memorial Hospital late last week, and spoke of a \"fairly quick\" change.<br /><br />The abrupt nature of Friday\'s announcement took some observers by surprise, even if leadership changes are common under a new regime.<br /><br />\"For me personally, yeah, it was unexpected,\" said Mike Ware, the El Paso County Medical Society executive director. \"It\'s not something I was hearing any rumblings about.<br /><br />\"In the context of other consolidations... what the challenge for the new University Health is that they have three different cultures that they\'re trying to merge and get everyone with the same vision. Sometimes as executives, you have a different vision.\"<br /><br />A veteran of the Colorado Springs health care industry, Scialdone saw Memorial Hospital through a transition that remains in its infancy.<br /><br />He left his post as chief financial officer at Penrose-St. Francis Health Services in 2008 to hold the same title at Memorial Hospital. He was promoted in 2012 during the controversial departure of former chief executive Larry McEvoy, who received a $1 million severance package.<br /><br />Weaver declined to discuss whether Scialdone received a severance package, declaring personnel matters private. Scialdone could not be reached by The Gazette for comment.<br /><br />\"He has been an outstanding collaborator, and very good to work with,\" said Carol Bruce-Fritz, Community Health Partnership\'s executive director. Scialdone served on the nonprofit\'s board. \"We\'re grateful for the things he\'s done for our community.\"<br /><br />Hayes takes over Memorial Hospital about three months after Scialdone acknowledged patient volume and revenues being largely flat during the hospital\'s first year under UCHealth.<br /><br />One year into the lease, Scialdone emphasized that vast changes had been made inside the hospital\'s walls - and new initiatives were on the way.<br /><br />Last week, Scialdone sat before television cameras and announced plans to greatly expand Children\'s Hospital\'s presence in Colorado Springs - a move that could include a new stand-alone children\'s hospital near Memorial Hospital North, as well as a pediatric urgent care facility near Memorial\'s central campus.<br /><br />In its first year of operating Memorial, UCHealth invested millions of dollars in capital improvements - such as a new, roughly $40-million electronic health records system that went live Nov. 2 - and hired dozens of doctors and physicians after beginning UCHealth\'s 40-year lease. Administrators also vowed in August to pursue a Level I trauma center, a move followed swiftly by Penrose-St. Francis Health Services\' own announcement for a similar designation.<br /><br />Hayes\' appointment offers a homecoming of sorts. He graduated from Widefield High School in 1974, and his father was a civilian who worked at Fort Carson.<br /><br />A career hospital administrator, Hayes received his undergraduate degree from Colorado State University in Fort Collins and holds a master\'s degree in health care administration from the University of Minnesota. He spent most of the next 20 years in the Saint Luke\'s Hospital system, either helping to run its main campus in Kansas City or overseeing the construction of a 75-bed facility in Overland Park, Kan.<br /><br />In 2004, he took over as president and chief executive of Medical Center of the Rockies in Loveland - overseeing that hospital\'s transition to University of Colorado Health over the last few years.<br /><br />\"My track record is, I\'m not the kind that moves around,\" Hayes said. \"I tend to stay in one place and see things through.\"<br /><br />Read more at http://gazette.com/memorial-hospital-ceo-and-cfo-resign-new-leadership-named/article/1512827#9EvWSE4Ar62maDlc.99','','','\r\n	Colorado Springs, CO- based Memorial Hospital has promoted Mike Scialdone as Chief Financial Officer\r\n',2,2,'http://gazette.com/memorial-hospital-ceo-and-cfo-resign-new-leadership-named/article/1512827','','mirania',4,'Mike-Scialdone-Memorial-Hospital-Chief-Financial-Officer-Promoted',0,'2014-02-03',0),(11556,17438,14822,'Chief Financial Officer','Greg Gutmanis has appointed as Chief Financial Officer at BENEV Capital Inc.','2014-03-31','2014-01-28','OAKVILLE, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan. 28, 2014) - BENEV Capital Inc.

Amello as Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Amello previously served as Executive Vice President, CFO and Treasurer of ZIOPHARM Oncology and as Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer of Genzyme Corporation. <br /><br /> “Jason brings to Akebia over 20 years of industry and financial leadership, where he has played a vital role in the growth, profitability and operational performance of biotech companies,” said John P. Butler, CEO of Akebia. “On behalf of Akebia, I welcome Jason who will be instrumental to our team as we advance our portfolio of drug candidates, including AKB-6548, an oral small molecule currently in a Phase 2b study for the treatment of anemia associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD).”<br /><br />“The anemia market is in great need of a safer treatment option, particularly in patients with additional complications such as CKD; and I believe AKB-6548 could provide that option by exploiting the body’s natural ability to increase red blood cell production,” commented Mr. Amello. “I am thrilled to join Akebia’s innovative team and look forward to realizing the full potential of this and other candidates in Akebia’s pipeline.”<br /><br />During his time at ZIOPHARM, Mr. Amello implemented valuable changes across the organization, including contingency planning, governance and risk mitigation, and a restructuring. Previously, Mr. Amello had a significant tenure at Genzyme spanning 11 years where he served as Senior Vice President, Corporate Controller and Chief Accounting Officer; Vice President, Strategic Financial Services; and Senior Director of Finance, Assistant Corporate Controller. At Genzyme, Mr. Amello built a strong finance and accounting organization and created a new strategic advisory organization to support aggressive M&A activity that propelled Genzyme to one of the world’s most acquisitive biotechnology companies. Earlier in his career, Mr. Amello spent 10 years in the business advisory and assurance practice of Deloitte, serving in various roles of increasing responsibility through senior manager. Mr. Amello holds a bachelor’s degree from Boston College and is a Certified Public Accountant in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.<br /><br />About AKB-6548<br /><br />AKB-6548 is an orally available, hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor that stabilizes HIF2&#945; and is currently in development by Akebia for the treatment of anemias secondary to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end stage renal disease (ESRD or dialysis). These diseases are currently treated with injectable erythropoiesis stimulating agents (ESAs), which generated approximately $7 billion in global revenues in 2011, despite having “black box” warnings for increased cardiovascular risk in patients with CKD and increased rate of tumor growth and chance of death in patients with cancer. By contrast, due to its different mechanism of action, AKB-6548 has demonstrated the potential to be a safer, more efficacious, less expensive, orally dosed alternative to the injectable ESAs that are currently used to treat a variety of anemias. Instead of binding directly to and saturating the erythropoietin (EPO) receptor for prolonged periods of time, AKB-6548 acts by stimulating the body’s natural response to anemia that is carried out by stabilization of HIF2&#945;. The drug response is similar to the physiological adjustment made by the body to an increase in altitude. In this way, once-daily dosing of this oral HIF-PH inhibitor can restore the normal diurnal variation of EPO for a patient with anemia in a way that an injectable ESA cannot. This approach leads to a consistent, predictable and controllable rise in hemoglobin levels.<br /><br />About Akebia Therapeutics<br /><br />Akebia Therapeutics, Inc. is a leader in the development of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) inhibitors as therapeutic advances for patients with serious diseases. The Company’s lead program, AKB-6548, is in a Phase 2b clinical trial for anemia associated with chronic kidney disease. AKB-6548 is an orally available, hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase (HIF-PH) inhibitor which is designed to stabilize HIF2&#945;, a critical regulator of red blood cell production and iron absorption. AKB-6548 potentially promises to be a safer, less expensive, orally dosed pharmaceutical to stimulate endogenous EPO production. www.akebia.com ','','','\r\n	Cincinnati, OH- based Akebia has appointed Jason Amello as Chief Financial Officer\r\n',2,1,'http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20131016005425/en/Akebia-Appoints-Jason-A.-Amello-Senior-Vice#.UvCGzvvnZn5','','mirania',4,'Jason-Amello-Akebia-Chief-Financial-Officer-Appointed',0,'2014-02-04',0),(11582,17463,14844,'Chief Financial Officer','Todd Creech has appointed as Chief Financial Officer at ZS Pharma','2013-10-15','2013-10-15','COPPELL, Texas & MENLO PARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ZS Pharma, a specialty pharmaceutical company developing a novel treatment for hyperkalemia, today announced that Todd Creech has joined the company as chief financial officer.

Hyperkalemia is characterized by abnormally high concentrations of potassium in the blood resulting from the inability of the kidneys to excrete potassium, impairment of mechanisms that transport potassium into cells, or a combination of both factors. Causes of hyperkalemia can vary; however, most hyperkalemia is a consequence of renal disease, diabetes, heart failure, hypertension or side effects from cardio-renal protective drug therapy, such as renin angiotensin aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors.<br /><br />The rise in chronic medical conditions commonly associated with hyperkalemia highlights an unmet medical need for a therapy that is safe, rapid and predictable, and offers a favorable side effect profile.<br /><br />About ZS Pharma<br /><br />ZS Pharma is a privately held specialty pharmaceutical company based in Menlo Park, Calif., and Coppell, Texas. ZS Pharma’s lead therapeutic candidate, ZS-9, is in Phase 3 clinical trials. It is being developed to treat hyperkalemia, a potentially life-threatening metabolic condition characterized by an abnormally high serum concentration of potassium. ZS Pharma is also pursuing the discovery of additional drug candidates that utilize its novel selective ion-trap technology for the treatment of kidney and liver diseases.

In addition to bryostatin and the diagnostic test for Alzheimer\'s Disease, the Company intends to pursue development of two other technology platforms developed by and licensed from BRNI: the first, a platform for transporting drugs into the brain through the \"blood-brain-barrier,\" and the second, a group of drugs for enhancing cognition, mood and alertness for neuropsychiatric conditions.<br /><br />Please visit www.neurotropebioscience.com for further information.','','','\r\n	Fort Lauderdale, FL- based Neurotrope Inc has promoted Robert Weinstein as Chief Financial Officer\r\n',2,2,'http://finance.yahoo.com/news/neurotrope-inc-announces-hiring-robert-123000938.html','','mirania',4,'Robert-Weinstein-Neurotrope-Inc-Executive-Vice-President-and-Chief-Financial-Officer-Promoted',0,'2014-02-07',0),(11594,17473,14854,'Chief Financial Officer','Joseph Voss has appointed as Chief Financial Officer at vcfo','2013-10-08','2013-10-08','vcfo, a leading professional services firm offering financial, recruiting, and human resource solutions, announced two new senior executive hires.
