DanCann Pharma A/S strengthens the Board of Directors with experienced investment profile Tue Østergaard
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, 2 May 2022 - DanCann Pharma A/S (SS: DANCAN) ("DanCann Pharma" or the “Company”), a Danish company powered by cannabinoids, hereby announce that Tue Østergaard, CEO of HC Andersen Capital, was elected to the Company's Board of Directors.
At DanCann Pharma's Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 27 April 2022, Tue Østergaard, CEO of HC Andersen Capital, was elected to the Company's Board of Directors.
In connection with the election to the Board of Directors, Carsten Trads was able to welcome Tue Østergaard. The experienced investment profile, who is CEO of the fast-growing HC Andersen Capital, has in a very short time engaged himself as an investor, founder, advisor, mentor and board member in a number of companies with new, innovative technologies and business models. And according to the chairman of the Board of Directors, he has the right profile in terms of bringing valuable experience and constructive ideas into DanCann Pharma.
Tue Østergaard, new Member of the Board at DanCann Pharma, comments:
- I am very much looking forward to joining the Board of Directors in DanCann Pharma. I fully support DanCann Pharma's vision and the exciting, ambitious growth journey that the Company is on - and I look forward to contributing any way I can. I got to know the Company over the last year, and I am very impressed with how far DanCann Pharma has come in a relatively short time.
Carsten Trads, Chariman of the Board of Directors at DanCann Pharma, comments:
- With his many years of experience at management level and with management and board roles in several companies, Tue has the necessary expertise to contribute to the further development of DanCann Pharma's business. We are thus working intensely to strengthen the Company both at board level and in the organization, where we have succeeded in attracting strong profiles to important functions. At the same time, we enjoy great support from our now extensive circle of more than 4.000 investors.
DanCann Pharma's founder and major shareholder Jeppe Krog Rasmussen has chosen not to stand for re-election to the Board of Directors in order to make a professional separation between the work of the Executive Management team and the Board of Directors.
Jeppe Krog Rasmussen, CEO and former Member of the Board at DanCann Pharma, comments:
- It has been a huge educational process to be in the Board of Directors and I will continue to sit at the board table as the Company's CEO - and will of course continue to be heard as the Company's largest shareholder and founder of the Company. That said, I also feel a responsibility to draw a professional line between the Executive Management team and the Board of Directors. DanCann Pharma has reached a certain size, and has today a large circle of investors, and therefore the Board of Directors must be able to make the best and most objective decisions for the Company with input from the Executive Management team.
After the general meeting, the new Board of Directors constituted itself with Carsten Trads as chairman, Christian Carlsen as vice-chairman and Magnus Østergaard Dahlmann, Per Wester and Tue Østergaard as Board Members.
