On April 11, 2016,
the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Champions Oncology, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Dr. Philip Breitfeld
to the Board.
Dr. Breitfeld has more
than 30 years of experience in oncology. His appointment will further the Company’s efforts to accelerate growth and increase
the adoption of its technology platform.
Dr. Breitfeld was most
recently Global Vice President at Quintiles, responsible for the Therapeutic Centers of Excellence. Prior to that, he led the Oncology
Center of Excellence at Quintiles where he worked with many large, mid-size and emerging biopharmaceutical firms. He held senior
clinical development positions at Merck KGaA (EMD Serono in the US), where he led oncology development in the US, and at BioCryst,
where he led oncology development and was Associate Chief Medical Officer. Prior to his career in industry, he held academic positions
at Harvard, University of Massachusetts, Indiana University, and Duke. He has approximately 50 publications in the literature dealing
with basic cell and molecular biology, and translational and clinical oncology. He was trained in Pediatric Hematology/Oncology
at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was a visiting scientist at the Whitehead Institute at MIT, received his medical degree (MD)
from the University of Rochester, and his undergraduate degree (AB in chemistry) from Princeton.
The Board has determined
that Dr. Breitfeld satisfies the definition of “independent director” and the requirements for service on the Company’s
Board under the Nasdaq listing standards.
As
stated in our Form 8-K filed on October 29, 2015, on October 28, 2015 we received a notification letter from Nasdaq confirming
our notification to Nasdaq of our non-compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5605(b)(1)(A), which requires that our Board consist
of a majority of independent directors. Such non-compliance occurred when a former director of ours did not stand for re-election.
Now, as a result of Mr. Breitfeld’s appointment to the Board, the Company has regained compliance with such Nasdaq rule.
The Company’s
press release describing the events referenced above is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
