Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On February 12, 2025, Dr. Jerry Wang, the Chief Executive Officer of AnHeart Therapeutics, a Nuvation Bio Inc. (the “Company”) company, departed the Company following the achievement of key Company goals including China’s National Medical Products Administration’s approval of taletrectinib for the treatment of adult patients with advanced ROS1-positive non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s acceptance and priority review of the Company’s New Drug Application for taletrectinib for the treatment of advanced ROS1-positive NSCLC, and the successful integration of AnHeart Therapeutics into the Company following the merger between the companies. The achievement of these goals has removed any further need for the role of Chief Executive Officer of AnHeart Therapeutics.

Additionally, on February 11, 2025, Dr. Wang notified the board of directors (the “Board”) of his resignation as a member of the Board, effective February 11, 2025. Dr. Wang’s departure and resignation are not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, and the Company thanks Dr. Wang for his many significant contributions.
