Alterity Therapeutics Announces Board Changes to Support the Next Phase of Growth
Alterity Therapeutics Limited ACN 080 699 065 (ASX: ATH, NASDAQ: ATHE) (“Alterity” or “the Company”) announces a series of Board changes ahead of its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders on Friday 21st November, designed to align with the Company’s next phase of growth as it advances towards Phase 3 clinical development.
Mr Geoffrey Kempler, founding shareholder, former Chief Executive Officer and current Non-Executive Chairman, has advised the Board of his decision to retire as Chair and Director, marking the conclusion of an important and transformative chapter in Alterity’s history.
Mr Kempler established the Company (formerly Prana Biotechnology) more than two decades ago, building it from a pioneering research venture into an internationally recognised, clinical-stage biotechnology enterprise focused on neurodegenerative diseases. His leadership and commitment have supported the Board’s strategy of targeting important unmet medical needs in neurology, building a robust intellectual property portfolio, and successful progression of its lead clinical asset ATH434 to Phase 3 planning for Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), a Parkinsonian disorder with no currently approved therapy.
The Board expresses its sincere gratitude to Mr Kempler for his extraordinary service, drive, and stewardship, which have positioned Alterity with a strong foundation and an experienced management team for the future.
In parallel with this planned succession, Mr Brian Meltzer has decided now to trim his portfolio of directorships and retire as Non-Executive Director after 26 years of service to the Company. The Board acknowledges Mr Meltzer’s guidance and invaluable input throughout key phases of the Company’s evolution.
Mr Kempler commented: “It has been an honour to lead Alterity from inception and work with talented colleagues to advance new therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. With the Company entering an exciting stage of late-phase development, and with several long-serving directors, including myself and Mr Meltzer, retiring, we are enabling a new generation of leaders to guide Alterity’s strategic vision and execution,
I look forward to supporting Alterity as a committed shareholder and in a consulting capacity through an important transition period.”
Mr Kempler and Mr Meltzer’s resignations are effective at 5pm AEDST on Friday 21st November 2025.
Reflecting a measured and forward-looking succession plan, the Board announces the following appointments:
| ● | Dr David Stamler, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, has been appointed to the Alterity Board as Managing Director and CEO. |
| Dr Stamler has been with Alterity since June 2017 and has led the Company’s clinical progress and strategic transformation as CEO and prior to that as Chief Medical Officer, including advancing the Company’s lead asset toward Phase 3 approval. Dr Stamler’s extensive experience, over 30 years in the pharmaceuticals industry, includes guiding three CNS drug approvals with the FDA, underscore his expertise in navigating complex clinical development. |
| In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 3.16.4, the Company confirms that there have been no changes to Dr Stamler’s remuneration arrangements because of his appointment as Managing Director. |
Alterity Therapeutics Limited ACN 080 699 065
Level 14, 350 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria 3000 Australia Dr Stamler’s and Mr Barbaczy’s appointments are effective immediately following the close of the AGM on Friday 21st November 2025.

| ● | Mr Julian Barbaczy joins the Board as Non-Executive Chair, bringing more than 25 years’ finance and investment industry experience to the Board, having spent almost two-thirds of his career as a key member of a leading Australian funds management group. Julian is currently a Director and/or Chairman of several ASX listed companies, and offers deep expertise in funding, evaluating, and supporting high-growth companies, skills vital as Alterity enters late-stage clinical development. |
These changes strengthen the board and have been implemented to ensure continuity of governance, to draw on a diverse breadth of skills and experience, and to support Alterity’s drive toward meaningful outcomes for patients and shareholders in the coming years.
Authorised for release by the Board of Directors of Alterity Therapeutics Limited.
