EDAP Appoints Ken Mobeck, Global Chief Financial Officer, and Francois Dietsch, Global Chief Accounting Officer

 

LYON, France, January 2, 2024 - EDAP TMS SA (Nasdaq: EDAP), (“EDAP”), the global leader in robotic energy-based therapies, today announced that the Company has appointed Ken Mobeck as its Chief Financial Officer of EDAP worldwide, and Francois Dietsch as Global Chief Accounting Officer. Both appointments are effective as of January 1, 2024.

 

“Over the past year, we have continued to align our organization in support of our strategic growth initiatives to build shareholder value by focusing on expanding our operational and commercial presence in the U.S.,” said Ryan Rhodes, Chief Executive Officer of EDAP. “Based on Ken’s extensive experience in global finance, investor relations and operations, this appointment to Global Chief Financial Officer is consistent with our ongoing alignment and will enable EDAP to remain focused on executing our current growth strategy while also increasing our visibility amongst U.S. investors. Consistent with these changes, we also believe the timing is now ideal for establishing a formal, officer-level position for our global accounting function, and based upon Francois’ impressive record of accomplishment and experience with EDAP, I am pleased that he will now serve as our Global Chief Accounting Officer.”

In addition to historical information, this press release contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable federal securities laws, including Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) or Section 21E of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which may be identified by words such as “believe,” “can,” “contemplate,” “could,” “plan,” “intend,” “is designed to,” “may,” “might,” “potential,” “objective,” “target,” “project,” “predict,” “forecast,” “ambition,” “guideline,” “should,” “will,” “estimate,” “expect” and “anticipate,” or the negative of these and similar expressions, which reflect our views about future events and financial performance. Such statements are based on management's current expectations and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including matters not yet known to us or not currently considered material by us, and there can be no assurance that anticipated events will occur or that the objectives set out will actually be achieved. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results anticipated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the clinical status and market acceptance of our HIFU devices and the continued market potential for our lithotripsy and distribution divisions, as well as risks associated with the current worldwide inflationary environment, the uncertain worldwide economic, political and financial environment, geopolitical instability, climate change and pandemics like the COVID 19 pandemic, or other public health crises, and their related impact on our business operations, including their impacts across our businesses or demand for our devices and services.

Other factors that may cause such a difference may also include, but are not limited to, those described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission and in particular, in the sections "Cautionary Statement on Forward-Looking Information" and "Risk Factors" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 20-F.
