Today PYC announced:
“PYC Therapeutics Limited (ASX:PYC) (PYC or the Company) announces the appointment of Chairman Mr Alan Tribe as the Company’s Managing Director following the resignation of Dr Rohan Hockings as Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director. Dr Hockings has given 2 months’ notice and it is currently expected that he will leave the Company by 16 November 2025.”
Mr Alan Tribe is (was?) a wealthy WA accountant, property developer and PYC True Believer who back in February 24 kicked in a further $35m in the most recent $146m PYC capital raise. Alan owns around 34% of PYC.
The lively and affable ex CEO Rohan Hockings, the driving force behind the science at PYC was on Strawman back in 29/5/24. This interview makes a contrast to the recent SM interview with the prickly Alan Taylor of CU6. Rohan did not own much of PYC, however at one point his father a Perth cardio, had around 5% from memory.
Looks like one hell of a blow up, though we may never really know just what happened. Not good news for science, PYC investors and Alan Tribe in particular I would think.
